Hoop Skirt or Petticoat?

Adoretamm, on December 26, 2015 at 11:59 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 11

Okay so I'm like 5 months out now and I'm starting to look at petticoats and hoop skirts. I want the full look with my ball gown so which should I get? I see some affordable ones on Amazon vs the ones at David's bridal.

    Every time I have ever seen any bride with a hoop skirt she can't move or walk through any doors. That's my two cents.

    I have one of the David's Bridal ball gown petticoats and it's perfect. I highly recommend it!

    Go with a petticoat, hoop skirts will be a pain to sit in.

    Petticoat.

    Dealt with hoops growing up doing 1800s shows, they are a pain in the a$$.

    Remember with a hoop when you sit the front goes up.

    Just saying.

    @Adoretamm I have the full bridal ball gown slip, style 795. It was $60, but it's exactly what I needed under my dress, and won't stick out like hoops would

    Definitely petticoat. Can't imagine being comfortable all day in a hoop skirt.

    I would go petticoat. I think it gives you a little more flexibility.

    Thanks everyone! My FMIL is trying to offer me her hoop skirt from her wedding and I'm not sure if I like it so much.

    I tried on dresses with a hoop skirt at an Alfred Angelo store and liked it much better than the petticoat. They looked the same but the hoop was cooler, and it was not a stiff frame so when I sat down it laid flat. I would recommend trying both on to see how they feel with your dress!
