What petticoat to wear?

Gorgeous dress - why do you think you need a petticoat/underskirt?

Have a look on ebay....loads on there. Lots designed specifically for fishtails. Read something the other day about fishtails with and without petticoats.... main thing that came from it was that just having a single hoop at the bottom kept the material away from legs and feet and made it much easier to move in. U don't necessarily have to add volume.

A Beautiful dress - mine is similar but doesn't flare out so much at the bottom....I was asked the other day if I had thought about a hoop etc. That would be a big fat NOPE then!!

I guess I will have to try it with and without a hoop once it has been delivered to the shop, but in the meantime I will be watching this thread with interest. Let us know what you decide to go for.

I was dead against hoops too. How very mid 80's and princess Di i thought. But it made my dress so much more comfortable to wear cos it keeps it all off my legs which I'm hoping will not only make walking easier but hopefully keep me a bit cooler too! And it doesn't add volume, just helps the dress maintain its shape. I really think its worth trying one

I think im going to wear one just so it makes it easier for me to walk and so i can keep the fit of the dress. I think I will go back to the dress shop to see which looks best.?
