Does my mermaid dress need a hoop?

Hi,

i was advised by the dress shop to wear a 1 hoop petit coat. i bought one from ebay about £15. or you can always hire one from a bridal shop.

Hope this helps.

I hate hoops so I am not wearing one with my fishtail although it would make it more pronounced. Length wise they will just shorten it to my heels with no hoop in but I suppose it I had a fitting in a hoop then removing the hoop would make the dress longer...

If you are comfortable in a hoop and you think it looks better then go for it, if not, then dont, your dress will still look great.

I tried this dress on the end of last year and i tired it with a fishtail petticoat. In my opinion it is a totally different dress with it and looks much more fishtail-y which is what I was after.

Looks lovely without too but if I had went with that dress I would of worn the petticoat with it x

Thanks for your replies. I think I kind of know that unless I go back and try my dress with and without a hoop, I won't know which is for the best. I bought my dress off the peg (lucky lucky find) so they said I can call and go try and it on whenever as long as I let them know beforehand *sigh* On the plus side, my venue is having a wedding fayre on Friday ?
