You really want to make one? when you can buy them for so cheap? And isn't tulle not going to give you enough poof? or would you use netting? And what's a 'framed petticoat' anyway? lol :)

Haha! Yeah I mean netting, not toole (though they are in the same section)... I have a bolt of netting and a bolt of toole - they were really really cheap a couple of months ago!

By framed I mean like hoop skirts where you have a substantial frame under your dress instead of ruffles. :)

I may actually just buy a petticoat (I'm going to David's Bridal on Saturday). But I haven't sewn anything in a while and I'm trying to find an excuse for a sewing project... lol.
