Hello Does anyone know how to make the nylon chiffon pettiskirt/petticoats, that are now in style for children. I don't want to spend the 80-90$ to make one. Or if anyone has directions or knows where to find it. The pettiskirt is similiar to these www.kaiyaeve.com. Are these done with rolls of chiffon or chiffon by the yard cut in strips? And how is it sewn, it seems hard to sew chiffon. Thanks, D |

I have not found any instructions but I did do a search on ebay. This may help you on how to make one. http://cgi.ebay.com/Chaislyn-in-PNC-Boutique-w-DollyLane-custom-Pettiskirt_W0QQitemZ190111847485QQihZ009QQcategory Z79718QQcmdZViewItem If you scroll down, you will notice that this skirt takes 35yards of chiffon in hot pink on two layers and has 2 inch ruffles on the bottom. Sorry I can't be of more help. |

Why don't you experiment.. Use something comfortable for the underneath part of the pettiskirt, and use strips of tulle gathered tightly to make the ruffles then attach another layer of the comfortable layer on the top as a finishing layer. the ruffles should be layered starting about midway down from the waistline, getting puffier as they get lower toward the hemline.. Then , if you like the way it turns out, make it in a better quality fabric.. I make test garments a lot . Saves a lot of grief over wasting expensive fabric..
