This skirt is made of nice, soft, lightweight material. I cant imagine many little girls wanting to wear a true, scratchy petticoat, and this adds a good amount of fullness to the Little Adventures costumes while being comfy (we have the Parisian Princess one). In fact, without it, I think the costume hangs a bit saggy.

My daughter loves to even wear this alone. Its soft, shiny white, very appealing to a girly 3-year old!
