  Is Organza the same as the “special petticoat” fabric?

  Just finished the petticoat. I used organza. It has turned out perfect! I LOVE this pattern. THANK YOU!

  Will Crimoline (or cirinoline) work well?

  Hi ! Sorry for my English ! I have began your very beautiful Katjusha and I want to make the petticoat ! But I make it in cotton. That’s a choice for the style of the ensemble (I want something personal and master :) ). So, I have a question : With Cotton, I think that your measure are very big. 13m40 ( ? inch) at the diameter (severe…) !!! How can I made this with a cotton ? (I know, that couldn’t be the same, but something like this.) I have thinking that 6m70 is enough for the total ? Could I sew only 3 tiers (1m55, 3m35, 6m70) + the waistline? And so, made only one seam.For the moment, my dress is 4m80. What do you thinking about ? I congratulate you for your work and I hope that you understand me ! I’m waiting about your answer ! Thank You !

  Hello! Thanks for this awesome tutorial. I have one question: If i am shortening this for a just above the knee dress i am making, should i take off the last layer or just shorten each panel?

  I can’t wait to try this. I’m in the middle of a dress that is crying out for a 50s-style petticoat. And I had no idea there is special petticoat fabric!

  That’s amazing! If I get hold on some proper petticoat fabric, this tutorial will be very helpful! Wearing petticoats makes one feel so elegant!

    Petticoat fabric has special properties.Its a 100 % Polyamide.That is soft to the skin and does not lose the fit.
    It is also in extended-wear rigid. The tulle is very scratchy on the skin and losses very quickly its volume.

  I have a quick question. If i wanted to size this down to say a childs size. Do you have any particular method that you use to determine the length and width for each tier?

    what length should the petticoat have ?
    what width for the hip should i consider for your child ?
    I suggest a different model for your kid. you can do it in one hour.
    here is a picture tutorial how to do it.it is although in russian, but the pictures describe it.

  Excellent, but oh, how I wish you were around when I was a teen. (That would have been from 1958, on.) I wore the stiff net-with-ribbon-edging petticoats. Two got those full skirts out there! One minor detail; they made one itch like grasping nettles, even if the ribbon didn’t come away in washing. Net itches. I am sizing this down for the #2 granddaughter, who wishes, “To be a real PRINCESS, Grandma.” No Disney sweeties for this one. (Good Girl) Most cordially, Nehmah
