Wedding Petticoat/underskirt?

I need to get a hooped underskirt for my wedding dress. Bridal shops charge about £55 :eek: and I grudge this - it wont be seen and it will never be worn again.

Anyone got any tips on where to get one from?

Thanks:T

    Mine was cheaper from a local dressmaker that my Mam knows. I can't remember the cost though, as Mam paid for it!
    Here I go again on my own....

    I got a white gypsy skirt from Debenhams last year and used that - worked charm and only cost me £20. Plus I can wear it again this summer :)

    Try the For sale board on https://www.hitched.co.uk or one of the Hitchers in Business on there might be able to help you. I think Linds and the Fairy Godmother both do underskirts
