Crinoline didn't work, now what?!

I think it looks better without. Wear spanx under it and you won't get a wedgie.

Honestly it looks so much better without, that dress is beautiful on it's own. I'm really not trying to hurt your feelings but it looks ridiculous with the crinoline underneath.

I love the dress, without the crinoline

@Mrs Richmond.. no hard feelings! The thought of a crinoline had never even crossed my mind until my consultant mentioned it (probably just an attempt at an upsell!) @OGJ I agree.. that's why I tried a hooped crinoline to try and smooth out that bell shape, but yes, I'm not a fan either!

You look gorgeous without! She was probably trying to up your alterations charges. Wear that beautiful dress as is

What is a bridal wedgie?? lol I've never heard of that before.

Definitely go without, it's a lovely dress, as is!

I had the same problem and took the hoops out and now it looks amazing! It adds a little fullness but not too much. And the under slip keeps the dress from going between my legs when I walk.

Without. You honestly can't tell. Maybe just in the pictures. You look beautiful btw.

@Vanessa, thank you :-)

I think I'll be skipping the crinoline then!

@OHP.. I'll look into that as an option. I'm thinking once it's hemmed it will look better.

@Fall Bride.. that's what I'm planning on doing too! Planning to get a cheesy pair of undies from Etsy that say Mrs. FH cuz I know FH would love it. LOL

Go without it! It looks wonderful! Just wear spanx and you'll be fine

I like it under it it gives it a full affect. I am wearing one under mine with spanks and a slip

If you want crinoline, go to David's bridal. Ask them to try on a "550 (Style number) fit and flare slip".. this slip will not poof out to much and will give you just the right amount. From your picture it looks like you're wearing an A-line slip, when you really need a simple fit and flare one.

I tried one off Amazon with the hoop. Looked ridiculous, LOL. I then discovered the hoop could be removed. So I slipped it out, and it gave the dress that fuller look, without the over-the-top hoop look. Maybe something to try!

I love the shape of your dress on you without!

Or find one that is just tulle, without the hoop to start with.

I found this one when I was looking for a colored one.

@Michelle, I already dropped it in the UPS box to return it. I think I'm okay without! Like I said, before my consultant had mentioned it, like the 5th time I had tried my dress on, I had never even thought of it or considered it.

Awesome, rock it! Looks beautiful without.

I Love it without!

I think the dress is stunning, and it definitely looks better without the crinoline.

Also... I'm assuming that in the picture you don't have a spanx on...you don't need one. You look amazing as you are.
