I bought 2 crinolines

I bought 2 crinolines

I couldn't decide until I go to my first fitting so I bought 2
One with hoops and one extra full one without hoops.

What do you think?

Can you return one if you don't use it. Then its fine.

Sounds like something I would do. I think it is very smart especially if you are not sure which one you really want until you put your gown with it for the fittings. Good idea Jenn A+++ for you!!

JennBaby - your dress is beautiful!!!! had to get that out.

I am not a big fan of hoops, so I think the extra full slip will serve the purpose of giving you that full princessy effect.

When I was at David's I tried on the fullest slip and it gave that ballgown effect.

Thank you nrvbrd!!!! (blushing).

I think you are right hoops will be uncomfy for me

Re: I bought 2 crinolines

Do you mind me asking where you bought them? I also need something for under my dress but am not sure how full it needs to be, so I would like to find a store that allows returns. Thanks.

Jenn, I don't think I have ever seen your dress. Can I see a pic?

Re: I bought 2 crinolines

jen, where did you get the second one? I am doubting my hoops too! How much was it?

Re: I bought 2 crinolines

I purchased them both off Ebay, new & never worn.
I can post the seller's links for both tonight if you'd like.
I figured I can resell them on Ebay

Re: I bought 2 crinolines

I don't know about the hoop one. Def. see if you can sit down with it on first.
Long story...but when I was younger I would have to wear dresses with hoop crinolines and I always remember being uncomfortable and if the chair wasn't wide on the seat my dress would pop up!

Re: I bought 2 crinolines

GOLD STAR for you on this idea!! I wish I had thought of that. I dont even remember asking about the crinoline when I bought my dress. I was so happy about the dress I didnt care about the crinoline. I'll find out if its the fullest when I go for my first fitting (at the end of this month!)
