This is my first petti, and I’m really happy with it! It has so much poof, and it keeps its shape really well.

This petti is really nice and fluffy. it has a thin sheath inside between you and the organza ruffles. it's very soft in general and I really like it :)
My waist is about 29 inches, the waist elastic is one size fits all and is meant to fit a wide range of sizes. it has a lot of stretch. It is fine for your average person who doesn't mind elastic. I modified my petti so the elastic in the picture may appear looser than the one you will receive if you buy this. details below -
I personally do not any like elastic I can feel. This has to do with my own problem, this petticoat is wonderful. This waist elastic is not sewn to the petticoat, it is free inside the waistband. I made my own “drawstring “. I cut a small slit in the cotton over the elastic, then carefully put a piece of wax paper inside the slit to cover the elastic (this took some time and patience to do!). Then I put a generous amount of fabric paint over the slit to seal the edges of the cut. I waited 24 hours before pulling out the wax paper and pulling a loop of the waist elastic through the slit - which will be more like a circle now because the slit will stretch a little.
I then cut the elastic and sewed some long ¾ inch wide ribbon to the 2 ends of the elastic with a strong thread so I can tie the drawstring. I must make sure I tie a very secure bow when wearing petticoats with this modification or the petti will fall off.
***I see there is an option to have this item custom sized. If you are like me and don’t like elastic and would like a bigger elastic band that will look professionally done, I recommend custom made sizing.
