Nice! I think I like having a big tuck at the top gives it a more distinguished look. When/if I make one I will definitly try that. Thanks for all the historically correct tips!

I'm not ready to make my own tucked petticoat and your hints are very much appreciated. You also answered my questions of how wide the panels of fabric should be for what width of skirt.
