Where did you get your crinoline / slip?

I've tried 2 different ones already, and neither one is full enough. I've seen slips with hoops, but they don't have netting underneath, and I really like that look!! (That and I don't want my dress going up when I sit down!!) I need a mega full crinoline at this point. (NYBride's dress comes to mind)

Thanks in advance!!

I got mine at Adrienne's; it didn't have a hoop.

I am using one of my sister's from their wedding. Its called tons of tulle, its the biggest one they have at adrienne's. I love the ballgown look.

It has been suggested to me that if you want a full crinoline you need to buy the fullest crinoline available at your dress shop and then hang it upside down. because of the way that are handled at the shops (sometimes stuffed into bags) the crinoline starts to 'fall'. If you hang it so the crinoline is 'open' when you turn it over to wear it will be MEGA full.
I hope that makes sense..wish I could illustrate.
