It gets trickier when the waistband isn't elasticized, or only partially elasticized. I've read a couple of tutorials and I generally end up o_O at them.
It is convenient, though, that most lolita skirts are panel skirts--the skirt part is just a long-ass rectangle as opposed to flared, in order to get the cupcake/bell shape. And that shape of skirt can look nice even without a huge petticoat. Although I do need to make a nice cotton "everyday" petticoat (in addition to a nice poofy lolita petti), as mine wore out. I miss having one that just makes my skirts look a little nicer.
