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

fuller crinoline by far...question though, why can't you just have them take it up a little?
It would ruin the dress. I already had it made by the manufacturer for the hollow to hem measurement, because I was told shortening the dress any other way would ruin it. The original sample was about 3 inches too long. I was surprised they got it this close. But when I tried it on, I had to keep kicking up just to walk forward, so I know it has to either be fuller, or I would need higher heels.
As for the hoops question, crinolines either come with wire hoops underneath or just tulle netting. I'll see if I can find a picture of both to give you an idea.
Thanks for all of the opinions!! I guess I'll go the fuller crinoline route!!

Here's the difference between with hoops and without hoops for those that are curious...
