I bought my petticoat and long line bra at David's Bridal.  I liked the way their petticoats are made more than those available at Alfred Angelo.  (DB is sized and zips.  AA is more one size and drawstring... at least when I looked last.)  You should be able to go to any bridal salon and either order or pick one up there.  There are also several options online if you google.

One thing to keep in mind is the shape of the dress.  I was going to wear my sister's petticoat, but she had more of a ball gown than I do and her petticoat had more layers and  was fluffier at the top than the one I eventually bought myself.  -  When I picked up my dress I tried it on with hers and hated the way my dress hung.  When I found the dress I was in the style petticoat I bought and the dress hung smooth with more fluff at the bottom.  With my sister's it hung like I was wearing a teepee up to my waist under my dress.
