Petticoat/slip question

I was thinking this too and just ended up ordering it from the bridal shop. I would have had no idea what style or fullness to order. They are experts in the bridal shop and I wanted to make sure I had the right slip for my exact dress.

But maybe your seamstress can tell you what to order, if you do order it online?

I think a lot of it is also personal preference. Most petticoats will work with ballgowns or a-lines unless you want it super-full and get a multiple hoop-skirt. There is a seller on ebay that has lots of petticoats for under $30 she also had good descriptions of the types she has and what gowns they would go with. You could probably email her a pic of your dress and she could rec. the petticoat you need!

How much was it to order it through the store? I need to have it when I start fittings, so if I don't buy one ahead of time I'll have to buy one there.

YES but not for my wedding gown. My sister needed a petticoat for her winter semi this past December and we got hers from them. It was perfect under her a line gown

BUMP

Can anyone tell me roughly what these things cost in the bridal stores? I'd be getting mine at bridal reflections... The ebay seller doen't take returns, i think I'm too nervous to do that....

How much of a price difference is it??? Ebay is $20 plus shipping.

THey will have different ones there, just tell them you arent sure what type you want and they will bring them to you to try with your dress

Right, but how much do they cost in the store? A general range... I'm just trying to see if it's only a $50 difference or like a $200 difference.... Any idea?

TIA!
