Makes skirt stand out, and not too much
I bought this to make the skirt of my Oktoberfest dirndl poof out. I didn't want it to look like a poodle skirt or ballerina tutu, and it doesn't. It is a 26" length no matter what size you order. I cut the bottom 2-1/2" shorter, almost even with the lining underneath. The wedding veil material (I'm at a loss for what it is actually called) doesn't fray, so no problem cutting it. I liked the fact that the sizes overlapped. I ordered the XL and it fit fine. I hiked the top elastic up over my midline bulge and it stayed for hours. The "veil" material begins halfway down the petticoat. The top half is stretchy material that conforms to your body. It comes in many colors. If I was going to a 50s party I'd buy another color.

Love it.
Using under a cute slip dress with Halloween costume. Seems well made, lightweight, fluffy, worth every penny, easy to put on, waist/hip region nice and stretchy, but doesn't lose its fit. Ty!! I know that I have other dresses I will wear this with. And the color is perfect.

Good for adding shape to flared dress or skirt
It is not too full, and it is comfortable to wear. As other reviews have mentioned, it does have an unpleasant smell. I washed it in cold water on delicates cycle and then put it in the dryer for about 15 minutes on low heat. Washing removed the smell and time in the dryer removed packaging creases and fluffed it out.

Fair is fair. You get what you pay for. Please don’t leave bad review until wearing various ways.
***Original Review (before I learned it’s good for a lot of things)*** “Not too thrilled with the lack of fluffiness. These hardly poof out at all and they’re made of hard scratchy lace. Almost impossible to get on as well, unrealistically tight. These would fit my 6 year old perfectly if they weren’t so long.”**EDIT** (July 1st, 2023)I was going through old reviews and realized I went a bit hard on my expectations for an inexpensive product. I have used these now a few times over the years and realized I was a jerk for leaving a 1-star review on a product like this. I was expecting princess perfection on these but I only paid a for a pauper’s quality. That was on me, not the seller.With all that being said, they can be used for a variety of reasons; like costume parties or just for a fun dress-up event (like Pride parades or old western photos). It is true that they are super tight, but I realized that’s actually a benefit! Since one isn’t really fluffy enough to use as an underskirt, you can do what I did, which was put them on together in a double layer. Then pull the waste part of the skirt really far up your stomach and you have yourself a nice little fluffy goth-like dress (almost) with a built in skin tightener. You do need to add more to make it complete though, because the stretchy flat part of the skirts aren’t long enough to cover your breasts. I am lucky enough to be so short that I was able to pull it up to just under my bra line, which was perfect for I needed it in that circumstance, which was a Wild-Western-Themed party. I slapped on a black push-up bra and topped it all off with a black and red corset and “ta da!” old time saloon girl! It looked pretty good, too, if I may say so myself!I only left the initial bad review because I ordered it originally for my wedding dress (50’s-ish style halter, tight up top then had short fluff lower half) and it was just not as fluffy as pictured, and much longer. But I was able to make it work when I realized I could just pull it farther up (not gonna lie, it wasn’t exactly comfortable essentially being squeezed into a sausage-like tube of tight material, bad, D*MN it looked good), also needed to wash and manipulate skirting while still wet so it dries a bit better. I have been able to use it a few times now and it’s definitely worth the review edit. People, just keep in mind these two things:1. Beauty hurts/or is uncomfortable sometimes., &2.Don’t be a jerk like me and give a bad rating on something you got a cheap price (especially if it’s something you’ve got no experience with and were using it wrong to begin with, lol.Long story short, I apologize to the seller for any losses my negative review may have caused you, and I definitely 10/10 recommend.

Petticoat slip is a must for adding fullness to a dress. Yet, not too full just adds body.
I used this slip for a Halloween party dress & added a belt and scarf. Good compliments. Long enough to pull down to show the lace below the hemline. Exactly what I was looking for ‼️

Great petticoat, perfect for vintage!
This petticoat is amazing! I wear it all the time and will 100% buy more from here! The color (white) is true to the picture. There are two layers and a lining; the tag is on a side stitch of the lining and you won't notice it at all. The lining makes it easier to store but does restrict movement a bit. Although it says "knee length," I'm short so it actually hits me a little above mid-lower leg, which is actually what I wanted. When I got it, I didn't need to iron it out at all, and it's packaged with care. The material is sturdy so that it stands up on its own and is stitched beautifully. The lining is so soft and comfortable to wear all day without feeling restricted or heavy. As with all petticoats, it can get a bit hot if wearing outdoors in warm weather for long periods of time.I've had it for a few months now and the construction is holding up just as it did on Day 1, although there is a *tiny* bit of fuzzing on the bottom piping and a few spots of stretching. I'm still so happy with it!(For reference: I bought a medium and I'm 5'1", 130 lbs, 32 waist-38 hips.)

Very rough material
Very hard fabric . Doesn’t make the dress voluminous. Poorly made

comfortable, pulled waistband up to bra
pulled waistband up to bra, layer helped keep me warm while outside. made my dress/costume outline more flattering. I did iron the liner (it came in a vacuum sealed package). Great price will probably use with future costumes

Ehr ein Karnevalskostüm
Die Petticoats sind ehr als Karnevalskostüm geeignet als zum täglichen gebrauch. Sie sind sehr steif und das Material irritiert teilweise die Haut sehr stark. Eine Strumpfhose darunter ist zu empfehlen.

Great slip.
When it first arrived it was vacuum sealed (inside out) in a plastic bag and looked very flat. I took it out, shook it and left it hanging for a few hours. It soon fluffed up.Ironing will improve the 'bounce' of the frills even more.I wore mine under an Octoberfest dress and it added an extra bit of fun.
