Cheap slip?? Hoops??? Lol Help please!

Does it need to be a hoop or can it be a crinoline? I would try craigslist. And seeing that your wedding is past the prime time for other peoples weddings the options might be more.

It can be either, I looked on craigslist but with my size none of the ones for sale will fit me. My fittings start in two weeks and all I need done is a tack on the bust so my bra doesn't show, bustle and hem so I need it before they can start the bustle and hem. Ugh this really sucks

I called local bridal shops. I was able to get a used on for half off.

That is definitely a option if you don't mind wearing a used one. I didn't.

That's a good idea Labake!

Im getting my petticoat from here--

What type of skirt is your dress? You can also find them on ebay but more as a costume type for reenactments - like civil war or renaissance.

I need a medium full slip

Toni-Marie have you purchased it yet? I need one just like that and I'd like to know your experience with them.

I also say stay away from a hoop and just do a pouffy crinoline.

Ebay.... and this is where I say "Go for the cheap China location"

You are protected by paypal if there is any issues.

What is the silhouette of your dress? That also determines the shape slip you would order.

*edit, just saw you are on a timeline, might not get the one from China in time

I'm not sure what you'd call the shape of my dress lol

It won't let me post a pic so lets say A line

I would still be worried that getting one from a China supplier may not have the shape needed.

I just PMed you..

Hoop slip vs crinoline slip --- Hoops are nice for summertime - they keep you cooler! They usually cost less than a crinoline slip.

Another alternative is to find someone to make one they are not hard to do and are not that expensive. All the major pattern makers have them available.

Can you rent one? i know that where I am, most places rent them

also a hoop will help keep you cooler

Also, try weddingbee in the classifieds under 'wedding dress' or 'other dresses' !

I rented a crinoline from the vintage clothing store where I bought my dress.

Another idea is to visit your local thrift stores. I know that I have seen a ton of them around here.

Have you tried googling how to make one online? I saw a homemade one a few months ago. The bride went to Walmart and bought a regular slip and either hand stitched or hot glued layers of the meshy material to it.

Go to ebay, I paid $16 for a mermaid slip, and now I am not using it, I am sending it to another ww bride
