Petticoat help?!

I bought my dress a couple of months ago, it's due in the shop next month. When I tried it on I didn't have a petticoat under it but I recently saw a picture of another bride wearing my dress with a petticoat under it and it looked really nice. I think.... I don't know now if I want to get one for my dress. I wouldn't want to just buy one I'd have to try it on, I don't even know how I go about making this decision! And then I was also wondering if I would have to get an expensive bridal one or could try and source a cheaper one somehow. I don't know how much they cost but I hadn't include it in the budget! I did love it as it was when I tried it on but I don't know if it just gives it a little something extra? Sorry if my post is a bit rambling my brain is rambling a bit on this topic!

    Every bridal shop has an array of petticoats to try on with all styles of dresses. Arrange a try on when your dress comes in and ask for a petticoat to try with it. If you dont want to buy one, most bridal shops hire them out for around a standard £25 x

    I bought a petticoat from Ebay which was a fiver and came from China. I thought for £5 it was worth a gamble and it's actually great....does the job brilliantly!

    I got our daughter one from a bridal shop - a double hoop one - for £45. They did hire them out for the weekend at £25 but they looked a bit grubby and well worn so for the extra, we decided that it was worth it as she didn't want to be showing a grubby petticoat when she lifted her dress up to walk down the stairs. The petticoats make it much easier to walk in, especially the double ones.
