You need to make a hoop-skirt / petticoat with metal bone to support the gown. The metal bone will be inserted into a tunnel/seam. With the seam parallel to the skirt hem. The more rows of bone, the better support.

For the construction, you can try rent a hoop-skirt / petticoat from HKAPA (香港演藝學院) as example. They had a wardrobe department, costumes made by their student for the drama can be rented.
Material, can try Jordan 寶靈街金華。
