Underskirt help

Benjaminsmum, 21 March, 2014 at 19:45 Posted on Planning 0 9

So , I chose my dress last week and I need to get a single hoop underskirt. The lady in the bridal shop said not to buy them of the internet as they are not strong enough to hold the weight of the dress. The bridal shop want £90 for the underskirt. What I'm wondering is- can you hire them? If I have to pay it then I will as I don't want the underskirt to let the dress down but it just seems sooooo much for an underskirt.

TIA

    I was told by a bridal shop that i could hire one for £25.00. Not sure if all shops hire and if prices are different x

    I am hiring one from the shop also at £25.00. Maybe your bridal shop would cut you a deal - OR another locally (sourced by you or recommended by them) would supply one at a decent price.

    IMO if the bridal shop doesnt offer them out for hire its only fair you take your money else where!

    I have bought one for £22.00 from amazon and i am hoping it will be ok, it looks much better quality than what i have atm.

    She was right with ones from ebay from China, I bought one of these originally and now it has come to having my dress altered its caused nothing but problems! The alterations guy cant shorten the length because its a cheap underskirt and is wonky when i've got it on.

    I'd say shop around at a few different bridal shops. We paid £45 for a double hoop for our daughter from a bridal shop. We could have hired one for £25 but when we saw it, it was quite grubby looking compared to the new one and the last thing we wanted was for her to lift her dress up to walk down the stairs on the day and see a less than perfect underskirt!

    I have a fishtail dress and bought a two hoop underskirt for £15. It's perfect.

    My dress shop actually advised me to get one off eBay as opposed to there as they're pretty much the same in quality.
