Where to get a petticoat (or other undergarment that does the same thing) to fill out a ballgown?

Jessica, on October 16, 2020 at 6:59 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9

Hello everyone! I know that buying these types of things can be expensive at the bridal boutiques, so was wondering where you got your petticoats, etc. if you had a ballgown? I really want to accentuate the cinched waist of the dress by adding a little more volume to the bottom.

Thanks in advance for your amazing help!!

    It's called a hoop skirt

    Thanks! I've looked at a few hoop skirts but am also wondering if there is something less rigid. A little less volume is totally fine with me.

    You could probably just ask your seamstress to sew a layer or two of crinoline into your dress. Less rigid than a hoop skirt but gives you the volume that you want

    I got a hoop skirt for my fit and flare from amazon. It just had one hoop and the bottom. It was super comfortable to sit and walk/dance in.

    I got a slip petticoat from Davids when I picked up my dress from alterations and it made a WORLD of difference with the look of my dress! I don't know your budget but they have some good options there!

    That sounds amazing! My budget is pretty generous since I was below on my dress, so I'll be sure to check it out Smiley smile
