Hoop help!

WeddingPrincess, 26 October, 2009 at 15:11 Posted on Planning 0 3

Hey Ladies,

I am wearing Benjamin Roberts 966 on my wedding day -

...and I think that I will definiately need a hoop of some description to make sure it hangs properly. As I bought it second hand I didnt get to try it on with a hoop and was just wondering if anyone could help with what sort I would need? I dont want to buy one just to find out that it doesnt look right or something.

Also, has anyone bought one from the bay of e as they seem to be really reasonable compared to bridal shops?

Thanks in advance girlies

    Oooo, I dont think I have seen your dress before! Its fab!!

    Not sure about hoops though! I tried mine on and it didnt hang right so the lady put the hoop under and bobs your uncle it was part of the package. I think someone asked about this the other day as there were different sizes and they didnt know which one was which, or what the size meant or something...sorry that really doesnt help! lol!

    Thanks hun. I do love it! Have you posted your new one?? I know you sent the internet one back and got one from a shop but I dont think ive seen it? Sorry if I just missed it!

    Not tried it on since May when I got it...its at my CBM's house boxed up. Think I am going to have to get it out again soon though to sort this hoop malarky out. I know that you can get all different ones with more than one hoop and things but I'm just not sure which sort will make it hang like it does in the pic!

    That was me!! lol

    I still have no idea, I'm going back to the shop hopefully this weekend to try it on again with some hoops so I know what to order. They have told me that it depends on how big you want it to be, they do sizes 1-5 in S/M/L so 15 choices for an A-line dress!!!!!

    I'm afraid that's not much help but if you can find a nice dress shop they might be able to advise what works best even though you didn't get the dress from them (it's absolutely beautiful!!)

    Hi, When I was in the dress shop at the weekend, I tried my dress with single-hooped skirt and it was perfect. The shop price was £55. I have since looked on ebay and can find hoops for about £15.... so will be ebay for me. There were lots of other different ones on ebay - double hoop, triple hoop, even some with 6 hoops but think I would look like Queen victoria or something with 6 hoops....!

    Your dress is fantastic btw.
