Ooh, me too! Here is a pic of the dress without an underskirt and then the designer pic (how I want it to look).


I thought about Jupon 189 or similar, but that flares at the knee, whereas in the designer pic the dress begins to flare just below the drop waist, so I don't know if a fishtail petticoat will be enough. What do you think? I haven't had any luck finding a petticoat designed for drop waisted gowns and I really, REALLY don't want a hoop.

linda i know you mentioned a petticoat for the maggie sottero adelaide but can you suggest one with out a hoop (or will i definitely have to go for one with?)

it's an original maggie sottero adelaide dress and if i can get away with out a hooped petticoat that would be great. i don't want a huge petticoat just enought to enhance the style of the dress.

thanks in advance :T

For some extra added umf, go for a 121 or a 122.
Obviously my opinion as I haven't seen youg gown without a petticoat and would always advise trying something similar on.

A 189 is more for a fishtail gown and yours is leaning more toward an 'A' line.

I'd go for a 168 which are more ideal for the slimmer fitting 'A' line such as yours but I would hazard a guess this model is wearing a hoop, not just all tulle as in the 168.

If this is the case a 163 has 3 layers of net and 1 hoop but would suggest you try before you buy.

A 168 doesn't have a hoop and as I said to Hannah is great for the slimmer 'A' line. HTH x

Hello,

I am also looking for a bit of advice. I have ordered this dress, http://www.venusgowns.co.nz/viewgown.php?item=9540 does this need a petticoat? Any help would be great.

Thanks

Hi,

I have brought a lambert creations constance dress 2010 collection (i cant post links but if you google image it will come up) i was thinking of a jupon 189 petticoat would this work or would something else be better?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

just wanted to pop in and say thanks to linda for her advice, i ended up getting a jupon 163 on ebay which i could take the hoop out of if i didn't want the dress as full (contemplating keeping it in for the ceremony and photos and take it out for the eating and boogieing!)

haven't tried it on with the dress yet but have tried it on (makes me feel like the clanger in a bell lol).

but definitely wouldn't have been able to buy it online without the advice from linda :T

Ooh, I'd love some advice too please if you have a moment?

I've ordered a Maggie Sottero Davida dress - in the shop I tried it on with a hoop which was good, but I'm a bit worried about actually sitting down in it.
I know you said that a M.S Adelaide could get away with a 168, but is this too slimline for the Davida? Sorry, I have absolutely no vision when it comes to imagining what the dress would look like with different slips underneath

I don't want the dress to be too flouncy, but I definitely want it to hold its shape and not fall flat.
Thanks!!

and woohoo- that was my first wedding-related post, how exciting!!
