How would I make a can-can style petticoat about mid-thigh length?
I am making it for Halloween I already made an over-skirt and I bought netting to make a petticoat underneath .. I want it so when I lift the skirt it will have pretty layers (I’m thinking like 3 maybe), please help! thanks 
btw .. if I could find a pattern at a fabric store I wouldn’t be asking for help
If this is going to be something that you’re just going to wear once…then do the easiest thing.
Take a piece of elastic, preferably the wide, no roll kind, that’s intended for waistbands. Measure your waist, then add about 3 or 4 inches. Take the netting, and measure off a length that’s about twice your waist measurement. Now trim the bottom off, so that it’s no longer than mid thigh on you. This is the base netting. If you have extra netting, then sew it about midway, horizontally, along the netting you’ve already cut and measured. If the extra netting is longer than the base layer, then gather to fit. Now sew the base netting to the elastic, pulling the elastic as far as you can, so that the netting will gather as you sew. When you’re done, sew the ends of the elastic together, and sew the open sides of the netting together.
This is a quick and dirty method. This petticoat won’t hold up to repeated washing, it might not hold up well under even ONE washing.
Alternately, you might hit some area thrift shops and find a petticoat that’s suitable.
