Petticoat length for LouLou tea dress?

Bookish, 27 of June of 2013 at 20:54 Posted on Planning 0 4

I'm thinking of getting a petticoat, perhaps a coloured one, to wear at the evening reception. Has anyone bought a petticoat for a LouLou tea length dress and if so what length did you get? I'm not having the length of the dress altered, it's the 'standard' length that it comes in if that helps.

Thanks Smiley smile

    Are you able to try it all on together? Not much help I am afraid because all of the petticoats under my tea length were sewn in.

    Have you got a flash of the dress and the measurements? Perhaps someone with dressmaking knowledge can help?

    This is the dress, I'll have to flash one of me wearing it when I get home.


    I'm 5"9 and the dress is about the same length on me as the one in the pic. Again I can give more accurate 'guesstimates' when I get home. The dress already has a bit of apetticoat but I don't know if I want more 'oomph' for the evening. The one I tried on in the shop isn't as 'poofy' as the one in the photo. The woman at the shop said they can put more layers in but I'm wondering if a 'separate' one would be feasible. They could source me one at the bridal shop but I'd end up paying well over the odds.

    My actual dress doesn't arrive for another six months Smiley sad

    If you look at prom dresses on the LouLou website they do coloured petticoats to mix and match - they'd probably be the right length - worth a look.
