Petticoat Help!

Hi all,
I have this dress http://inlinethumb28.webshots.com/34971/2650475370102467118S600x600Q85.jpg (sorry about link - it's the first pic I found) after finding it at a bargain price in the sales! What petticoat should I wear? I have tried one on in the shop where I got the dress from but wondered if I could find one cheaper online. It is a full petticoat, lots of layers but no actual 'hoop' in it if you understand?
Thanks x

    Beautiful dress - I love the detailing on it.

    I know exactly what petticoat style you mean, because I am getting one the same. I found this one on ebay which I have ordered:

    I'm not keen on the hoops myself, they look too fixed for my liking, I want my dress to flow.

    Oh dear I am enjoying all this weddingy stuff but every now and then something reminds me I am so not really a girly dressy type person iykwim

    I was looking at the petticoats linked to above and read this
    Petticoat Description
    · Colour : Ivory
    · Shape: This petticoat gets its shape from 3 layers of net. There is a lining between legs and net to prevent scratching.
    · Material : A soft lining made from Nylon.

    and thought why on earth would they put a lining between your legs? is it some sort of shorts pants type thing, it became clearer when I read it again Doh:rolleyes2

    Anyhoo the advice is much appreciated and your dress is really gorgeous benchyboo
    Booo!!!
