I have a slip/petticoat that goes underneath, that would make it fruffy.

Yes, but you could add fabric stiffener
You can get it at any craft store or Target store or something
I reccomend felt though, it seems to work best

I'm sorry but it is. Look in the Sunday paper for a 40% off coupon from JoAnn's Fabrics and purchase some craft felt.This type of skirt needs the body that felt offers. A sheet would just hang limply down. If you are trying to make a costume from the 50's, I can give you another idea that may cost you nothing. Cut off the bottom of a pair of old jeans, leaving just enough fabric to allow you to make a WIDE ( maybe 4 inches ) cuff, when folded over TWICE. This cuff should be just under the bend of your knee. Borrow one of your father's white shirts. Wear it hanging out, with the cuffs rolled up. Find 2 small matching neck scarfs. Tie one on your neck with a simple knot. Have the ends pulled over towards your shoulder. Tie your hair up in a pony tail and tie the other scarf around the rubber band in your hair. This is what more girls in the 50's wore than the poodle skirts.

Go to walmart and get some cheap felt. It will stand up better.
The sheet will lay down and not really look like a poodle skirt!

Yes, no amount of starch would be enough. Poodle skirts are made of medium-to-heavy felt.
Possible alternatives: large plain Christmas-tree skirt ... use two layers and decorate as you please, or try flannel-backed vinyl table-cloth flannel-side out.
