The skirt is 3 circle skirts, two out of cotton and one double my waist measurement in matte satin. On one of the cotton circle skirts, I gathered strips of folded-over 6-inch strips of tulle in rows two inches apart. After that, I did four layers of gathered tulle from the top of the length of the skirt to smooth it out and add more volume. Then I sandwiched the cotton layer with tulle between the matte satin layer and the other cotton layer, and then put the waistband on. The tail was made out of PVC pipe, bent into a shape, and then put on a backplate with holes for a belt to slip through. Then I sewed a layer of fur fabric to cover it.
