i think you're talking about fluffies and you can make them on your own or buy them online...

here's a tutorial someone else made if you wanna try on your own

take your measurement and add 2", or however many inches it takes to get it up over the fattest part of your calf, if you don't have strechy material. mine is 14"

the second measurement will be from where you want the top of your fluffies to be to the floor. lets pretend that it's 15 inches or so. add 1 1/2" or so for a hem. you don't have to hem it, but it's a good idea.

your third measurement is how wide you want the flare to be. lets say it's 20".

so your pattern is going to look like this

_____14"___________

*PLEASE DON'T CUT YOUR PATTERN TO THESE EXACT MEASUREMENTS. TAKE YOUR OWN MEASUREMENTS* i can't tell you how many people haven't read properly, dropped $36 on fur and then cut everything too small cause they used my measurements.

when in doubt, cut things bigger than you think you need.

fold in half, hot dog style, and then sew along the longest part of the fur to make a tube. hem the widest part, this is the bottom of your fluffie.

take some non fluffy fabric, some color matching cotton, or something. i like to use a uv-reactive lycra, so smooth on my legs.

cut it 3" wide, by 14", or however big your first measurement was. iron it in half (hot dog style again), and then cut some elastic (i reccomend the 1" wide elastic, holds up better. )that is 2 inches smaller than your calf measurement. THIS IS IMPORTANT, it is how they stay up. some fur is very heavy, you wouldn't want it all to fall down when you dance, would you?

sew the ends of the elastic so it forms a circle. take your strip you cut earlier (which, folded in half should be 1.5" by 14" or whatever) and sew those ends so it makes a circle as well. place your elastic inside the fabric, so it makes sort of a sandwich. sew the ends closed, so you now have a circular tube with elastic inside it. make sure not to catch the elastic in the stiching, this will inhibit it's strech. now sew the tube to the top of the fluffies.

the end!!
