This petticoat is a common style used during the transitional period of 1868-1874. The illustration for this petticoat is from the 1871 Butterick catalog. It will fit best over TV109 – 1869 Hooped Bustle, or an elliptical hoop, and under TV203 Transitional Skirt.  Finished length is 1″ shorter than TV203, all around.

The very full skirt is fitted to the waist in front and sides, with the extra fullness shifted to the back. It has the traditional five gores in the front and a full panel in the back. The hem is floor length all around, getting longer at the sides and back to fit over the hooped bustle. The top ruffle covers back panel only, sewing into the side back seam. The middle ruffle covers the back and side back, sewing into the side seams. The bottom ruffle goes around the entire hem. The petticoat has a fitted waistband, and closes in the center front with hook and eyes.
