Easy Petticoat and 50's flair Dress

I've been wanting to make 50's flair dress. But I also want it to be easy to wear without zipper nor buttons. After browsed around the net.. I figured one out that to make 50's look .. I need to wear petticoat underneath the skirt. I remember when I was a kid.. I used to hate it.. usually made from tulle and makes me itchy and hot. So this time I thought I would skip the tulle and use lace instead for the bottom part. The key is to gather the lace so that it creates ruffles to lift your skirt a bit.
My quick and easy petticoat. Does the job though. I don't particularly follow any pattern just read a few instructions from the net.
