DRESSTELLS50s Petticoat Skirts Women Vintage Tutu Underkirt Retro Crinoline

Arrived on time and great condition and packaging. Pictured from left to right, first in plastic , then out of packaging hung up item is very compressed will fluff out over time. I fluffed it out so I could take pics and try it on. Last two pics shows two linings,and the interior lining that will lay against your skin. Top part is a giving stretchy material silky feeling, fits very forming almost like a girdle, but very comfy. Not tight at all, poof is amazing, will look amazing under any dress that you want to add some poof to. I’m gonna order every color. Well made, durable fabrics used. Excellent stitching should last a long time. I’m 5’7 190/200lbs and this size is a wonderful fit. Very happy with this purchase, can’t wait to wear with my blue and white polka dot dress.

I had been looking for a crinoline for a tea-length swing dress. My crinoline shopping experience was vs. Grace Karin, which have good reviews, but their quality and accuracy was horrible. Returned both my Karins and kept the DRESSTELLS! I will only be buying DRESSTELLS pettis from now on. Good quality and accurate lengths. The champagne color was a little too gold, but it still worked OK as a peek-a-boo. Champagne needs a little more platinum and rose, and a little less yellowy gold. Good movement and fullness, and washed well, too.UPDATE: LOVE these! Now own more. You never know when you may need a little something extra for an occasion! Consistent quality, wash beautifully , and a great price. I wash on delicate cycle, shake out, finger set any sassy ruffles, and hang dry.Originally, I gave 4 stars because the Champagne color was off compared to other champagne items I already own, but that color seems hard to standardize by many manufacturers. It still needs more rose gold and platinum, in my opinion and experience, but that seems to be an industry issue with lack of definition, not necessarily a flaw to this product.

***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.

I hope this review helps others, so I'm listing all my information: I am 5'9", 210lbs, broad shoulders/hips, long arms/legs, hourglass figure. This petticoat fit well in an XL, though it fit perfectly and comfortably, it did not offer any compression around the middle like some folks have mentioned. Maybe if I'd ordered a L instead... I was being cautious, though, as I didn't want it to be too small and uncomfortable as I plan to dance in it with a dress I ordered from GownTown (which will be reviewed separately). The length was right at my knees, or a smidge below, with the waistband at my waist (which is somewhat high on a long torso). It added some much needed dimension to my dress, but not super-fluffy; it has a very lady-like appearance, not rockabilly. Overall, seems like a good purchase. I've not danced in it yet, so that'll be the test!

Fits well and full enough under my dress. Good quality without hanging threads.

This is a great petticoat if you are looking to give your skirts a little lift. The waistband is elastic and provides a nice silky barrier between the tulle layer and your skin. There are two layers of tulle which provides lift to even heavier material dresses/skirts but is not a supper fluffy petticoat/tutu.The petticoat is a bit larger than I expected in terms of fit. I’m more hourglass shaped so I have to wear the waistline high near on my ribcage:just below bra for it to fit. I could have gone with the small but this wasn’t such a big deal as I’m a short and by wearing the slip higher up the bottom of the petticoat fell right below my knees which is perfect for what I needed.Item is flat pack/shipped so you will need to fluff the tulle layers after receiving. I hang mine up and fluff it lightly if needed before wearing and have had great results. If you plan on folding the petticoat to store it you will likely need fluff it more regularly.

It fits just fine and is really cute but it smells terrible. I was gagging when I opened the packaging and the smell filled up my entire room.
