I didn't expect this petticoat to be very high quality, and it isn't.  The fabric feels a little cheap and slightly scratchy; the petticoat (as others have mentioned) seems a couple inches shorter than what's pictured, and it's sheer enough that you'd better wear something black underneath... because whatever you're wearing will be pretty clearly visible.  Also it has an annoying habit of clinging to itself, sort of bunching up, when you sit on it... so if you don't smooth it down in back as you sit, your behind will be more or less exposed when you stand up.

I don't know how it would work under a skirt... maybe it would behave better.  I bought it for a costume, and it met my needs for that.  But if full skirts ever make a comeback, I expect I'd have to buy a "real" petticoat/crinoline.  This one is pretty much "costume" quality, in my opinion.
