Petticoat help!

I asked Ivan at Landy which petticoat they'd recommend to go with this dress and this is the one he's suggested.

What do you think? I know it's a big dress but I don't want to look like a meringue!!!

Would this one from Milly work too? It's £25 cheaper!!!

Also, if you have a petticoat that has a bit of a train, how does this work for later on when you want your train tucked up for the evening?

I think they'd both work - I think the weight of the dress would hold down any froth anyway. Can't help with the train aspect I'm afraid - could you just take the petticoat off for the evening?

I can't see why the milly one wouldn't go with your dress, looks very similar to me.
Can't help you with hooking it up though because i would of thought that only the dress would hook up.

I actually think the Milly one looks the nicer of the two

Don't know about tucking it up though - It doesn't look too long really, could you not get a bit of ribbon and a popper attached just so the train can be pinned up?

TRY LOOKING on ebay a shop called impersonal brides they have them for very cheap, once you decide x

The second looks better but they could be one and the same.
I'm not a big lover of hoops in petticoats. Full nett is much softer and doesn't give that "swing" (Easier for going to the loo in too. Have you tried manovering a hoop while peeing? Not easy)
The nett in either picture looks sparce and in my honest opinion, doesn't do alot. Pronuptia's used to have a single hoop with lots of nett, single hoop only (for bridesmaids) or 3 tier hoop, (plain or with train) To give it softeness, there should be alot more nett. So, go for full nett or plain hoop.

All of these are perfect for your dress and will give it a much softer look rather than a "lampshade" Hope it helps. x
