Higher heels or fuller crinoline?

My dress has been in and I tried it on. It's about a half inch to an inch too long. So I now need either higher shoes or a fuller crinoline.

While I like the idea of a fuller crinoline, because the dress I think needs to be slightly fuller, it's hard to find a very full crinoline without hoops. So I am left thinking my best bet is higher heels. But I have a bad knee, so that makes me hesitate. What would you opt for??

I didn't spend much on either, so I'm not out much if I buy a new crinoline or new shoes.

Here's me in the dress and the dress on the website

I think you should make it fuller..save your knee, the dress is gorgeous, and looks gorgeous on you!

I think a fuller crinoline would be great for the dress and for your feet!

I think that you should go for the fuller dress. You take too much of a risk of your knee hurting or your feet hurting and then you wont enjoy your day. What my best friend did was take the crinoline that was on her slip and pin pieces of it up higher so that the crinoline lifted the dress. That way, she didnt have to get a slip with hoops.

It definately needs to be filled out on the bottom, so Id say crinoline :) Beautiful!

Def a fuller crinoline....w/ the amount of time that you will be on your feet the wedding day, you are not going to want higher heels, IMO

janna,

the dress looks beautiful on you!

i'd go with the fuller crinoline. you don't want to aggravate your bad knee and be uncomfortable the whole day. maybe they can even add in some layers directly to the dress so you can avoid a crinoline with hoops...

With that dress, I would definitely go with bigger crinoline.

ETA: My sister has a really big crinoline from her dress without hoops. I know (since I already asked) you can borrow it to try with the dress, and if it works she'll sell it (cheap).
