If it's this one http://www.ukweddingreviews.co.uk/images/stories/jreviews/1438_Ellis11032_1295442513.jpg

then I#d advise this a Jupon 121 or 168 isn't going to be enough and a 122 may be too much.
Most of my fuller princess gowns I use a 163 here which may be good for you too if you want a little more umpf.
It may also depend on if there is net already underneath the dress. Have your store not advised you? xx

Hi Linda,
Would you mind advising me please? I bought this dress from eBay and it fits fine without an underskirt and just "hangs down" but would it look better to have maybe one hoop to "!!!!!!" it out a bit and show the shape? I hadn't really thought about putting anything under it. Maybe an underskirt might make it easier to walk in as all the layers did get caught when I was walking as I wasn't used to wearing such a dress. I can't tell in the photos if its showing with a hoop or not.
Thanks very much

Hi jewelleryfan.
You'll definately need a petti with this as you want to display the skirt and keep it held out as you walk (and not just to stop it collapsing into your legs either)
If it's an original Pronovias then go for a 163. Its a lovely versatile petti that has 1 hoop which if needed, you can make smaller (with the use of a little tape!)

Thanks very much. Yes that makes complete sense about keeping it held out and showing the shape. You word it alot better than me saying "!!!!!!" it out :rotfl:
I'm being really thick but is it the Jupon you recommend? Do you know where I can buy it?
Thanks

I've just seen this one on eBay 160721220175
It says it has one hoop with 3 layers of netting and the hoop can be removed as well depending on the look you want.

Try here. They are reduced! x

Brilliant thank you the one on eBay is at £30 at the moment with others on at about £50.

Many retail at around the £50-£60 mark for the basic pettis. As you will see from e bay, the re sale is quick so if you do decide to buy new, you'll get your money back.
All the very best with the planning! x

That's exactly what I was thinking

I was wondering about my dress the other day and getting the right shape, it will need some alterations when I've finished looking weight but I'm really excited now about it looking perfect and "poofed" out :rotfl:

Thanks very much for your help I really appreciate it
