As far as extra fullness in some layers and not others, I can't see how it
could work. If you had two lightweight layers with a heavier one

If you put an extra layer on the inside of the ruff neckband, you can take

I personally like to starch after it's constructed, then the starch doesn't
break down when being handled and I can shape the ruff the way I like.
