Product Information

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. In summary… Puffy skirts look great when you walk down a street or party in the club. Although the concept may seem relatively simple… there are actually a lot of details that make it work. In general… there are 3 methods to make a skirt puffy or full: slash… crinoline… and petticoat.

To make a skirt appear poofy, wear a petticoat or crinoline underneath. These undergarments are designed to add volume and fullness to a skirt, creating a more dramatic silhouette. A tulle or organza petticoat can be worn under a formal or wedding dress for added volume, while a crinoline or layered tulle skirt can add volume to a casual or everyday outfit. Additionally, choosing a skirt with a fuller shape, such as an A-line or circle skirt, can also help create a poofy effect without the need for additional undergarments. 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? Make a slip like this one and attach the crinoline gathered (take 2.5 times the circumference of the skirt for each layer).

OOPS!

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 is still used today… although it is not as popular as it once was. A few examples of its use include lingerie… tablecloths… and display items for shops such as bridal stores. Crinoline is also used in crafts by people making costumes for things like ballet or plays and historical reenactments. What Are Puffy Skirts Called? 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. This dress is photographed with the petticoat skirt under, and it has made a difference in the way it looks.

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?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. Cotton Fabric ( muslin) or silk taffeta or Satin – Double the skirt length needed. I am using a thin satin cloth here. Always choose a lightweight or medium-weight fabric which is comfortable next to your skin.

Join the net pieces on the short edge to form one long piece. Mark 4 equal divisions of the net. Gather the frill using two basting stitches along the edge. Distribute the gathers among these four divisions

If you want fullness from the waist, you will have to attach many layers of tulle. I have given here two layers of tulle strips. More and more layers of tulle will give you greater fullness. Instead of tulle, you can use crinoline. 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.

Cut out the pattern pieces – The skirt pieces and bias strip for the waistband and the crinoline pieces.

Keep the zipper face down on the seam allowance where the basting stitches are made. Pin in place. Sew the sides. 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. Crinoline is the stiff fabric used to make petticoats. Crinoline is a stiff net that is used to give the petticoat a nice volume and flounce. It is usually attached to the hem of the petticoat, but you can also attach the crinoline to the whole skirt in a tired fashion for a full look. Nowadays, many use the term crinoline as a substitute word for petticoat, which is wrong. These petticoat skirts were made of cotton batiste, satin, linen, etc. You can make them in Voile and Organza. 2 to 8 layers can be used for a petticoat skirt. When you add more layers, you get that much extra fullness. Stitch in the ditch from the front or top stitch, making sure that the turned under edge is caught in your stitch.
