I bought this item to use under a poodle skirt. Well, it didnt do anything. I was expecting a poofier underskirt, but what I got was basically a skirt made out of tulle. It's not even slightly poofy. And when I put it under the skirt, it wasn't even even so it made my hips look all uneven and bumpy. I can't send it back, so I'm stuck with it. The stretchy part is made of some kind of crappy pseudo silk. Super cheap. Super unsexy. Pass on this item and go with something else.
