Wedding dress question?

Question

I'm wondering if adding some additional crinoline under my dress would be a good deal, or if I should just keep it as is. Personal desision perhaps? I just want it to suit me as best as possible. I love the embroydery on it!

Here is me in my dress...

lmao, at "my tan needs work" ... I know I know. :P Made me laugh though!

Btw, this is the dress that I ordered, not in my proper size at the time these pictures were taken. I get my actual dress in May!

Answer 1

I would say you need something, but I would skip the crinoline. Your dress may stand up fine at the beginning of the night, but as the night goes on, it's going to lose it's shape. I went to many bridal shops trying on dresses and I did not like the crinoline at all!! I would highly recommend going with a three ring hoop skirt/slip. These feel amazing on versus the crinoline slips and being as you're going to be in decent fall weather....you're going to want to breathe. These allow air to come up under and cool you down, whereas the crinoline is going to add more weight and heat. You'll feel the difference just by the flow of the dress. My bridal shop sells them for $35.00, but I would call around to see if you have a local shop that has them to try on. If not, I did find a site that sells them for the same amount. I'm sure you can find many more online just by searching for hoop slip and/or skirt. I wouldn't recommend going any more than a three ring for your dress. It's absolutely beautiful, by the way!

Answer 2

That's almost exactly like the dress I wore! Only where the embroidery was, I had pink crystals that also went onto the skirt.

Anyway, yes add another crinoline. The one that comes with the dress isn't enough...your dress won't have the nice rounded shape that the design calls for.

Answer 3

What a beautiful dress! :) I really like it. I think it looks fine as is, but it would be really pretty with a little extra crinoline underneath it as well to give it a little more 'structure.' Either way, I'm sure you will make a lovely bride!

Answer 4

I like your dress. Since it isn't cut sleek against the body, I'd probably add a crinoline to make it poof out more. I think a crinoline will also make your waist look tiny. The dress looks like it has enough fabric to poof out more.

Answer 5

I would say no to the crinoline. I think it needs to be a little tighter in the waist, have you tried the next size down?. It's a very pretty dress. Congratulations.

Answer 6

I would for sure add some! I think the way your dress is near the tummy would look great if it floofed out after that with some crinoline!

Answer 7

Only in the last picture does it appear the dress needs to be fuller. I would probably add a puffy slip, as long as it didn't change the shape around your waiste and hips. Beautiful dress by the way.

Answer 8

I think it's beautiful as is but if your 2nd guessing yourself this could be a problem.....As the wedding gets closer you may just be nervous because it's crunch time. When you first bought the dress what was your 1st opinion? Stick w/it! Your mind was clearer and not as stressed then. You are going to look wonderful! Congrats!

Answer 9

Adding crinoline will make it more elegant, I agree! Beautiful dress with or without though!

Answer 10

you could always goto a bridral shop in your area with the dress and tell them you want to see it with a petie coat slip that is righ for the dress they'll know what you mean hope this helps i think it should have a petie under it .
