It worked well with my 50s dress. I gave it three stars because when I went to fix it I pulled on it and the petticoat ripped in a few places. I don't know how much more I can get out of it, but I'm ok with that. It was pretty cheap so I got what I paid for and it was the first time I've ever buying a petticoat, I didn't even know what they were called. I bought another petticoat from a different seller and that one is awesome, it did how ever cost more.
