Question about hoop crinolines

The woman at my bridal shop suggested I wear a hoop slip instead of a super full crinoline in order to create the fullness at the hips and more of a ballgown appearance. Although I LOVE the look, I'm afraid its going to be hard to dance or move in. It seems like it would be hard to get close to FH when dancing since it doesnt bend easily and such. Did anyone have problems with this??? How did it feel all night??

Re: Question about hoop crinolines

I tried on a hoop with my ballgown style dress and tried sitting in it and I personally didnt like it at all, I went with the full crinoline instead.

Just try it on and sit and bend and move around in it so you can make your decision!

I had to wear a hoop crinoline once and i will never ever do it again ... they might have changed the structure but i know it was hard to sit and dance....
id try it with both and do all the 'normal' things you can think of doing at a weddign in the hoop and reg.

In all honesty, the hoop skirt didn't work out too well for me...difficulty in sitting, and the movement was just too mechanical....

I would recm'd getting a crinoline petticoat.

Yeah, i went with the petticoat crinoline, I hear the hoop is a PITA.
