We often get questions about what to wear beneath our full dresses (like the Two Tier and Libby Dresses) or skirts when presenting a historical character. First, you need to know what time period you are representing. For Medieval and Renaissance, a simple hoopskirt like this one, with a strict a-line, will give the full, upside-down 'V' of the period.
Don't forget that anytime you measure for the length of a skirt or dress, you need to measure over the hoop, crinoline, or skirt that you will be wearing to make sure it is long enough.
And anytime you need tips or recommendations, feel free to contact us! If we don't have the answer, we're always glad to learn alongside you.

I'm trying to make a pattern for a 3 tier or 5 tier civil war petticoat and I can't find anything that shows the underskirt that you attach the ruffles to. I tried using a skirt I already have but when I trace it the front piece that should be on the fold is rounded at the top so it won't go on the fold
