This "can-can" half slip was the perfect accessory for my grand daughter's 1950s "poodle" outfit (also purchased from Amazon)! Her skin is sensative; however, there were no complaints about this slip. It has the right amount of "fluff" and did not look ridiculous under the poodle skirt. The color is a lively pale pink which complemented the outfit. The best part was somehow it dropped about a 1/2 to full inch below the skirt which made it more appealing without being garish or naughty. I liked the look! Anyway, I guess that depends on the length of the skirt and personal perference. The petticoat can be worn as a non-costume accessory also, for those who still buy or wear loose-fitting, full skirts. Nice price, nice deal! Thanks again Amazon!
