About this deal

Layers of flounces were attached to the lower edge to give great fullness to the outer skirt. If one petticoat did not give the full effect, more than one was worn. The length should be lesser than the skirt/dress you are planning to wear. Ankle or even lower calf length is good enough for wearing under-floor skirts or gowns. Otherwise, you will trip over all those layers. A pencil skirt is more contemporary and will look great on women with thin legs… while flared skirts are more ideal for those with fuller legs. Consider your age and body type when choosing the length of your skirt. The petticoats of the earlier days worn under the long gowns were one with several flounces and layers. They were some 1-2 inches shorter than the main skirt. The circumference of the lower edge of these petticoat skirts were as large as 100 inches. The third method (petticoat) is the most versatile but completely invisible which requires that you buy extra layers on top of your daily clothing to be able to pull off the puffy look.

Petticoats are typically made of cotton and lace or silk fabrics while crinolines are made of plastic or metal rings. Both petticoats and crinolines come in an array of colors and designs so you can match them with your outfit depending on how you want your skirt to look. You can see the pattern to make this ruffled tiered skirt in the post on DIY Gypsy skirt here. It gives you all the bounce you want under the skirt. You can also go for other materials that could be used in your skirt like organza… taffeta… cotton… or wool. You can use these fabrics not only for skirts but also for tops and other clothing items. Below we have listed the steps that will help you in making some really fancy skirts. The crinoline under-layer can be made from any lightweight material that’s stiff enough to support the layers of fabric above it. Skirts with crinoline are usually made from sheer fabrics like tulle and chiffon but don’t limit yourself to these materials if the look you want isn’t available in those. Sheer cotton and other light fabrics can work well too. Skirts made from rich fabrics such as satin… silk… or velvet will automatically add volume to your lower half. You need to decide whether you want a pencil skirt or a flared skirt with more volume.

Crinoline or stiff nylon netting ( optional only if you want fullness at the hem) – How much crinoline you need will depend on the ruffles you are going to sew on the crinoline, and this depends on the fullness you need. An average petticoat will require a minimum of 2 yards of netting. A very full petticoat will require about 4 – 6 yards. If you do not have crinoline, you can make a flounce with the same fabric as the petticoat.

Cut out the pattern pieces – The skirt pieces and bias strip for the waistband and the crinoline pieces. You can add extra ruffles to these layers for more fullness – made with netting or voile. 1-inch wide Extra ruffles can be attached to the hem of each layer of your petticoat. Usually, these frilly ruffles are added from the top layer for puffiness. If you want more fullness at the bottom, you can use a horsehair braid at the hem – it will give you that suspended pouffy look. Creating volume in a skirt can be a challenge. But if you have a full skirt… you might not have to do much to make it poofy.A short skirt looks best on young women who want to show off their legs and their confidence. On the other hand… long skirts suit older women better as they help them appear slimmer and more elegant. What Is Slash Method?

The slash method creates the illusion of volume by cutting long vertical slits at regular intervals into the fabric… then folding the top and bottom edges in toward each other to create pleats. For a fitted skirt, a gathered petticoat will bring unwanted bulk. How to make a Petticoat Layered Petticoats Skirts are often seen as a wardrobe staple… which makes them a great addition to any wardrobe. But what if you want a skirt with more volume?

OOPS!

Add fullness to a skirt by cutting it from a piece of fabric that is larger than the pattern piece. You’ll have plenty of fabric left over to create the fullness with gathers or pleats. Crinoline is usually made from cotton or nylon. Although both types are stiff… nylon crinoline tends to be more pliable and can conform better to curvy figures than cotton crinoline can. Some brands of crinoline have elasticized edges to help them fit more snugly around the waist. Use petticoats – Petticoats are the easiest way to add fullness to your skirt because they come in many shapes and sizes and they are specifically designed for this purpose. For example… there are circle petticoats… which give you that classic bell shape skirt look. Keep the frill upside down around the outside of the hem with right sides together, the gathered frill on top of the skirt. Pin the frill in place, and ensure that the gathers are distributed evenly. Stitch the frill to the petticoat equal distance from the bottom edge of the frill. If you want more frills, add upper layers of crinoline netting.
