For people who are new, I have an entire tag on my blog called Petticoat Theory, which is about how construction of a petticoat impacts its final shape.

Okay, Petticoat Theory and _boringbb_'s petticoat she posted on tiktok, and how that relates to lolita fashion:

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRb5GQ9T/

When I do a puffy skirt, I want it to be cartoonishly over-the-top, big, comically puffy, and I have yet to find a petticoat on the market that gives me the look that I'm going for. So, here's how I make my petticoat. If you make one, you can just reuse it for a bunch of dresses, so, one-and-done kind of situation here. Normal petticoats, they start very close to your waist, and then they have more that go away from your body as you go down towards your feet. I go for the inverse. I come from a ballet background, so I really like the tutu look, which is just kind of what I recreated with this petticoat. I have two layers of crinoline, and there's three layers of those two layers of crinoline, if that makes sense. So it's folded-over crinoline one, two, three, and the puffiest layer is close to my waist, and it goes in towards my body as it goes towards my feet. Having this volume right by your waist will give you the nice puffy look you're going for.

I've had several people ask me questions about this petticoat, so here's my takes:

Full disclaimer: I can't argue with success. Julia made a petticoat that she loves the shape of, so I'm not about to say it doesn't work. The fact that I don't personally construct my petticoats like that should not impact that she gets the shape she wants from hers.

So Julia's petticoat is three doubled layers of poof, all attached to a slip. The reason it looks relatively unconventional, when viewed from a lolita fashion viewpoint, is that the layers get shorter the higher up they go.

This isn't how a lolita petticoat is constructed, even when we're trying to reach the same shape. And we are, in fact, trying to reach the same shape.

I think the reason this petticoat is making its rounds in lolita fashion circles is that it's so different-looking from what we're used to. We're very familiar with how we make monster cupcake poof, so we're all a little alarmed when some other method shows up.

So, let's talk about what this does that is similar to what we do, and what it does that is different:

Here's one of a few different ways that lolita fashion will make that shape. I'm grabbing this style because it's very similar to Julia's up there: it's several layers of poof sewn onto a slip. I did a tutorial for this method here, and I have a petticoat made with this method that I use for lower-poof applications:

This is my less-poofy petticoat entirely because I constructed it to be that way; I have a petticoat made by Wunderwelt that is sometimes just too much poof for some of my skirts, requiring me to construct a lower-poof petti. As you can see, I still get the bell/cupcake shape where there's volume at the waist. It's not as much volume as Julia, but that's because it's designed to fit the skirts I made it for.

There is nothing that stops a petticoat of this construction from being enormously poofy. If I had used something stiffer like petticoat net or crinoline, instead of the crystal organza that I used, it would be a much larger petticoat.

So, how is our petticoat constructed that is different from Julia's? The main thing is that all of our layers end a couple inches shorter than the hem of the skirt we will be wearing over them. Every layer of the petticoat hits at the same hem length. This means that the top layer is cut longer than the following layers, and the closer to the hem of the slip they are attached, the narrower the layer is. This does, in fact, fit Julia's description of "they start very close to your waist, and then they have more that go away from your body as you go down towards your feet." However, the fact that the top layer of the petticoat is gathered directly into the waist of the slip means that we do, actually, have quite a bit of poof in the waistband.

In fact, the only difference between this style of petticoat and the petticoat that Julia made is where the individual tiers of ruffles end.

Which asks the question: if we're attempting to reach the same shape, why do our petticoats look like they do, and Julia's petticoat looks like it does.

Why is it that we want all of the layers of our petticoat to end at the same place, and why is that place 3-6" above the hem of our skirt?

First of all, we have our petticoats end several inches above the hems of our skirts because we don't want our petticoats to show in lolita fashion. You don't go to a tea party with your underwear hanging out of your skirt, now, do you? But, if we don't want them seen, why do we even bring the poof all the way to the bottom of the skirt?

The answer is pretty simple: hem support. I would like everyone who is able to please go throw a bed sheet over your nearest floor lamp with a lamp shade.

Okay, so I only had a towel, but we do what me must with what we have. And what we have is a towel that is supported part way down its length, but with no support as we get to the hem.

When we move, we do not want our skirt hems to be out flopping in the air with no support. We don't want the skirt to drop off.

In addition, we generally want our bell-shaped skirts to be more y=-x^2 instead of a square wave. We want poof at the waist, because that is the thing that makes a cupcake petticoat the cupcake shape, but we also want the poof to continue all the way until the end of the skirt. This is the same reason that a hoop skirt supporting a ball gown has a hoop very near the hem of the dress. The dress and the shape of the dress needs support.

Now, Julia has also made a couple of follow-up videos on this:

and

Unfortunately, instagram does not allow me to pause the reel the way tiktok does, so I can't easily transcribe the audio in these. However, what they do show is that she often wears additional layers over her petticoat in order to smooth out the shape. These additional layers, in this case, are what she calls "standard petticoats". They are longer than her petticoat, and they have additional volume at the hem.

You can see in this image, where she is intentionally wearing a sheer garment so that we can see how the petticoat stack works, that she's brought support down to the hem of the garment, and that her outermost layer is longer than her other layers.

Basically, Julia does understand how to construct a petticoat. Having no exposure to lolita fashion, she was not aware that petticoats designed with a lot of volume at the waist exist, so she decided to create that shape herself. She was able to understand how to make the shape that she wanted, and she didn't construct it in the conventional method because she knew she was using it in conjunction with other garments to provide hem support and a smooth the overall look.

Julia understands petticoat theory just fine and y'all need to stop sending me this video expecting to tear her apart.

Julia, you get a solid B+ in today's Petticoat Theory class. Points are deducted for two reasons: the phrase "50's inspired" and the phrase "the tutu look." I'm not an expert on 50's fashion, but I have written an entire blog about why you can't use 50's petticoats to make a lolita shape, so I'm guessing the fact that she's made a solidly not bad lolita shape means it's not particularly 50's inspired.

The other thing is that tutus are absolutely made with the longest layer on top, so that the top looks smooth. The tutu gains its perfect flat shape from having each layer stacked onto a slightly shorter layer. Basically, if you have a very short piece of netting gathered onto a tutu panty, it will stick out on its own. So, if you just keep stacking a layer that's only a little longer than the last layer onto the previous layer, they'll support each other, and you can get your 12-15" top layer to stick out perfectly flat. I'm only mentioning this because a lot of people don't know this, or that a ballet tutu will stick out flat without any kind of hoop in it. I just think that's cool.

As for "her petticoat only works if there's another petticoat on top of it", that's also how hoop skirts, panniers, bustles, bum rolls, hip pads, and so many other undergarments work! It's completely legitimate and it seems to work fine!

BTW, Julia, I think you'd do AMAZING in lolita fashion, and if you ever want to try it, please reach out to me. I think you'd really like it.

Anyhow, it's not conventional, it's not 50's, and it's not a tutu, but Julia saw a problem in the petticoats that she had, and she built her own little petticoat-booster to solve that problem. Perfect understanding of petticoat theory. Let's move on.
