Mine has pretty much fullness on its own. I've tried on a (IMO regular fullness) slip along with it and it looks pretty good. I do not know if I would go for a hoop skirt b/c they can be tough to manuver in.
Its your choice but try it on at the shop and walk, sit, twirl, ect.

Mine is pretty full. The dress has crinoline in it, but I am wearing a 2 layer crinoline slip also because it will show more of the detailing of the dress.

go for the crinoline, it looks prettier underneath when he lifts your dress to get the garter.

I'm wearing a regular fullness slip because the dress itself has a lot of fullness in the skirt already.

My dress is a ballgown and I am wearing a regular full crinoline slip. I am doing it just for a little extra shape.

I think mine is super full crinoline petticoat.

im wearing an A-line gown but i want to wear a slip underneath so it keeps its shape and so that the dress stays full (the dress is gathered and i dont want the gown to sag into the picks up) im not sure what kind of slip im going to get yet - i heard that i should try the kind of slip you would wear under a ball gown....ill have to try a bunch on when my dress comes in
