Hmm, I think I'm going to have to agree with ^^...I haven't seen any pictures of any or heard any mentioned.
In my own costumes, so far anyway, the pocket hoops/rump/whatever plus one (plain, generally muslin) under-petticoat give the skirts enough oomph! A quilted petticoat (which I do not own, being far too lazy to quilt) would give the skirt a little more body, I think.
Someone in my group did buy quilted fabric for her petticoat and it looks quite lovely. As for oomph, JP Ryan's pattern for petticoats is pretty full, especially when layered (which would be appropriate for the 18th century).
The amount of fullness you're going for would also vary depending on what class you're portraying. A working class woman would probably just go with the two petticoats and be done. Bum rolls and pocket hoops are more well-to-do, and also come in the later part of the century from what I understand.

I'm forgetting that the 18th century skirts do not need nearly as much puff as the 19th century ones :)
Thanks for the reply :D
