I'm not new to petticoat skirts, I have 3 others at home (2 are shorter length, so not a real comparison for these), but I really love this one. It's not as fluffy as others I have, though I've seen recommendations to put them in the dryer to fluff them up, so I might try it. I'm not bothered by the lack of fluff. It gives enough of a poof to my dresses without being overly poofy, like my other skirt of this length. I also like the fit. I got an XL and figured it'd be tight (for reference, the other kind I have is a 2x and it's tight). I wear between a 16 and 18 pants and the XL fits fine if I wear it high waisted or normal waisted. It's not tight, I barely even notice I'm wearing it. It has a nice underslip to keep the skirt from running against your legs, so you won't feel anything scratchy (unless when sitting. Though, I sit all day at work, and while, when I first sit I can feel the material, it doesn't bother me and I forget about it, so... I wouldn't say it's an issue, but I also can't say you'll never feel it).
I got this in red and white originally, but I've sinceordered a few other colors, including black to replace the fluffier one I have, since these are much nicer for every day wear.
