Petti with minimal poof

[peacewing.livejournal.com]

I'm still getting used to everything and have only gone out in loli once in public, and was looking for a bit of advice. I bascially have a fairly long A-line petti ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/BUNNY-SKIRT-White-PETTICOAT-X-Long/dp/B0051OT6YQ/ref=sr_1_4?s=clothing&ie=UTF8&qid=1321745413&sr=1-4 ), which when I roll up and pin, gives more of a cupcake shape and quite a large amount of poof. I really love it but I think at this stage I'm not too comfortable at wearing out much just yet aside from at meets. (Also my petti is a bit too large for my jsk and one of my skirts.)

So, does anyone have any good reccommendations for pettis with a small amount of poof for more everyday purposes? Something that'll give my skirts a bit of life but not too overwhelming. Maybe something A-line (my preferences tend to lean towards classic so maybe it would be a bit more appropriate?)


Something not too expensive either, the max I'd rather spend would be up to £25-30. And also if there's something to that description that I can find in the UK that would be even better, since I don't think I can make a big online order anytime soon (although maybe I'm asking for a bit too much right now >.>;).

Also, would someone care to explain the purpose of pettipants? They're cute but I don't quite understand what they're for. Are they just a frillier alternative for bloomers?

Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated!

(Edit: I tried to tag the post but it wouldn't let me, >.> is that supposed to happen?)
