How do you make a High/low wedding dress more poofy?

Dyanne, on August 22, 2014 at 12:16 PM Posted in Planning 1 10

Hi! I am going to be wearing a high/low wedding dress and I would really like to add more volume to the bottom. The "high" part really isn't that high. It hits around the mid calf maybe just a tad lower.

Do you think I would be able to add volume without it looking to silly? Not a ton of volume but just some extra.

This is the dress I will be wearing

    Perhaps you can have them sew in extra tulle or crinoline to the skirt to add poof where you need it?

    Your seamstress should be able to figure out how to achieve the look you want.

    I spent many years working in a bridal shop. There should be a crinoline you can wear under your dress that would give it some volume. It could be sewn in, or some shops let you rent them.

    Do you have the dress? Take it to the bridal shop and try on a crinoline with it. In the photo it looks soft and flowy. With a crinoline, it will look different.

    I HAVE THE SAME DRESS AS YOU! Smiley smile and I love that you asked this because I was thinking about it as well. However, I'm short so I don't need the high part to go much higher Smiley smile Crinoline can be sewn into your dress but I think it's itchy so make sure you have a slip.

    You can wear a short tulle tutu skirt or the ones they sell in the bridal stores and alter it.

    I'd put a bit of tuling underneath the skirt if it was me, but I'd speak to a seamstress about it.
