Thank you hayleythedaisy!

I'll hazard a guess that there isn't any additional net. If so, a 168 will be perfect. Ideal for the slimmer fitting 'A' line dress.

Thanks for the reply!
Is there an option for a hoop? I think i would actually prefer one as i think it would be easier to walk in (although harder to sit etc!!)

Thanks again!

A 116 has a hoop with a frill over the hoop which I would go for. If this is an offshore gown the taffeta isn't the best of qualities and you will more than likely see the hoop through.
If it were me I'd go for the 168 but that's me.:D

Thanks for the advice!

I've just posted a link for the 116 on ebay, for £14.99

What would you recommend for this dress? Either going for the Mori Lee version or the Alfred Angelo.

Saw a girl in the dress shop wearing that dress, it is stunning! xx

Thanks - I knew it was what I wanted before I went in the shop, but tried several others on just to be sure. None of them felt as special as that one! If the staff hadn't been so horrible, I would have bought it there and then!

If this is an original, the duchess satin will be weighty so you will need a 122 if you want a hoop. For a fuller skirt go for a 128.
