What is the name of the layer to make the puff out victorian dress?
I have a dress for a cosplay but it doesnt give out the puff that is needed.
So where can I get a small, because I am short and the dress is pretty small itself, but cheap one in stores?

you are probably talking about a petticoat.

Try here: http://inthestarlight.com/underthings.html

There is a lot of info about petticoats in the EGL forums if you need help with anything else.

You want cheap and quick? Spirit Halloween. They have 'em in pink, red, black, and white. They also have crinoline skirts in baby blue, pink, hot pink, and I THINK white. If you go to the website and enter your email where it says "sign up for a free gift", that free gift is a 20% off coupon for any one item in the store.

In the starlights are way, WAY to short for anything victorian. You need a petticoat or hoopskirt one or two inches shorter then your dress.

A slip is a completely different article of clothing all together, as are panniers.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS, do not use a halloween petticoat. You'll be lucky if they're 12" long let alone anywhere long enough for even a knee length skirt.

This time of year, the only place you will be able to find a ankle length petticoat or hoopskirt would be a wedding shop, though they will not be very cheap. Try checking ebay, though I would be able to help a lot more if you had a reference of the dress/what it is supposed to look like so I or others can suggest the proper number of hoops or tulle thickness.

Also, if the dress you have is not tailored to accommodate a petticoat or crinoline, then it doesn't matter. "Small" or not, a dress has to be tailored for underpinnings.

In most cases it is a crinoline or a petticoat. Other times it is a full hoop skirt that is worn underneath the skirt portion of the dress. However, if you are talking about the victorian dresses that only puff at the rear-end portion of the dress, that is a bustle and its cheaper to make one than buy and really easy.
