After re-reading my post, your responses (thank you), and the pattern..
The term "stay" is on the skirt pattern.. it says "lining and stay" as one
item.. http://www.mccallpattern.com/item/M5321.htm?search=bridal&page=1
I also am not sure why I wrote "we", must have a mouse in my pocket. I
have been sewing for many years but never came across that term before..
and yes gjones I deffinately plan on doing a dry run first, just wanted to
have all the information on hand before starting.
Thanks again, and in advance,
Elle

Without actually seeing cutting layouts and instructions,
I'm going to offer a guess: the "stay" in this case is an
under-layer to the skirt, to which you will tack the outer
fashion fabric in all those "poufs". It's what will hold
them up and make them exceedingly difficult to press. ;-)
So be sure you press everything carefully *before* making
the poufs and handle with care afterward.

Thank you so much! Im sure I will wander back to ask more questions,
should I use the same fabric for the under skirt?

"[T]he same fabric" as what? As the fashion fabric? If you
buy really expensive fashion fabric, you can probably use a
less expensive fabric for the lining/stay. I would keep it
in the same fiber family, and get the best color match
possible, but unless your fashion fabric is very
inexpensive, I would balk at spending big$$$ for 17 yards of
lining/stay fabric. Also, you might be able to find
suitable lining in wider width than the 45" indicated in
that pattern, so you could use a fabric-converter to
estimate a smaller quantity for the lining.

...
Without seeing the instruction sheets and illustrations, the stays are
strips or panels stitched inside the poufs (and called "stays" because
that's what they cause the poufs to do: STAY!). They won't show.
Depending on the width required, you might be able to use ribbon or
broadcloth.
That's a massive huge skirt, and I would add some sort of stuff to the
bodice/shoulders to help balance it. (But then my idea of dressing up
is a hoopskirt ballgown with a headpiece.)
