What are you wearing underneath? I want a very full Cindarella look. I was looking on ebay for crinolines and I saw that they have hoop skirts which give a very full look.
Does anyone plan on wearing a hoop skirt?
If not , what are you wearing and where did you get it?
Anyone buy from ebay? If so, did you get what you expected? Are they really comprable to what the bridal stores are selling for like $125 (on ebay the crinolines are like $20)?

Re: Girls Who Are Wearing Ballgowns...
my dress already comes with a few layers of crinoline so I don't think I'm adding anything, the bridal store where Im getting it said it I want it poofier they can add a few layers for me.
I purchased my crinoline (very full) off of ebay and I was extremely pleased. I paid about $40 all in, and it was exactly what I wanted. While the quality/workmanship might be a bit better on a crinoline from a bridal salon, IMO there's no point in spending 3-4 times as much on something that goes underneath your dress.

plus who cares if its not the best quality it only needs to last for a few hours.

I also bought my skirt from ebay. It was $30- versus $59- at Davids. I was pleased!!

Re: Girls Who Are Wearing Ballgowns...
I'm on the fence. My dress has several layers of tulle in it but I know that when I tried it on without the additional crinoline slip it looked deflated. So I'm prolly going to just buy the crinoline from David's. They're charging the same as ebay after shipping and handling. I think a hoop skirt would just be too much, IMO.

Are any of you guys worried about not being able to get down and boogie in these types of dresses? I love the look but I want to enjoy the party too!

my dress is not ballgown it was aline but if you look at the pics it was pretty big...many times what some ppl think is a ballgown its really a-line. I had no problem dancing in my dress, but i was worried before the wedding about this. I was extremely surprised how easily i danced in it. I was also able to battle dh on the dancefloor so worked out hahaha
to answer the OP: your dress will come with layers of crinoline underneath. My sample dress when i purchased it was not even close to how full it really was. When it came in i was even surprised at how big it was bc looked very different from the sample. If you look at my pics you'll see its full and let me say that i took one layer of crinoline out so originally was even bigger.

I love the the super full look that a hoop skirt gives but I'm afraid it will be weird when I sit down for dinner. They're so cheap though I may even purchase both a hoop skirt and a full crinoline off ebay and take them to my fittings to see which I like better then sell off what I don't use back on ebay. or I may use the hoop skirt for walking down the isle for the super full effect then switch off to the crinoline for the party!
