[Solved! Thanks for the help!] Quick question about my skirt!

[melipuffles]

So, I've got this petticoat/tutu! It's one of my absolute FAVORITES, but my big problem here is that it is see through! I have not been able to leave the house wearing it unless I have shorts underneath (you can kind of see the shorts in this picture).
 So I'm curious, what should I do about this? Even if I get bloomers to wear underneath it, it'll still be see through, and you'll see the bloomers then. Should I get more petticoats to wear underneath and layer it? I'd probably like that because it would be even poofier...but I'm not sure.
 Any ideas? Thanks!

Oh, and if you know of any real life stores that sell tutus/pettis like this...I ordered this one online, but I can't order things online for a while now.

Unfortunately, I can not sew my way out of a paper bag. T__T

I can....sorta sew by hand....just a little bit... enough to repair holes and stuff, and I attempted to make stuffed animals a while back, but I'm *REALLY* bad at it.

Maybe try finding something to wear underneath tha is a similar shade of purple? That might help blend it on.

Petticotes, are for UNDER dresses/skirts. Not to be used AS a skirt.

I usually wear purple shorts, but I could probably find a better pair.

They're worn a lot with Fairy Kei fashion, I see them a lot like this...maybe they're layering them?

 Actually now looking at these, it looks like they're *all* layering multiple pettis or wearing bloomers... xD I feel dumb!

I think the ones with bloomers are adorable, just my humble opinion, lol.

Yeah, I find bloomers pretty cute too. Maybe I should get some cute ones and try it out and see how that looks. Hmm.

Well,  technically what you have there is an undergarment and is supposed to be worn under skirts to fluff them out.  Although I do understand that "fairy-wear" and the like is "in" and people do wear these things now as if they are skirts themselves, but most of the time they should be worn under something.

I suggest you look for square dancing over skirts to wear over it.  Or a longer shirt that covers the see through part.  Or if you like the see through look, wear thick leggings that cover you enough that nothing is seen. Or wear some kind of solid slip under it.

I feel kind of silly now because I just noticed on the page I bought my petti from that it says:

"since the material is translucent, you might want to wear jeans or leggings underneath. you can also wear it as petticoat."

Haha. Okay! I think I've got it now. =P Thank you everybody for your help!

Yeah, I usually wear leggings/tights under mine but I thought it looked kinda funny, then I noticed the text on the actual page I bought it from about wearing stuff underneath it and I feel dumb now.

Lol, don't feel dumb.  We all live and learn.  It's a cute look.  I mostly posted to mention the square dancing skirts because they are awesome and pretty and I just learned about them when trying to find skirts for a little Bo peep costume.
