Hooped petticoat?

lindaatno9

This is a taffeta dress I'm making for my daughter. It has a full net petti which consists of 3 layers of tiered net.
Some satins, especially synthetic duchess are quite heavy so a single hoop with more net can be great.

Have you an image?

Not yet, but the picture of your daughters dress is just the look i'm going for. When I get the dress I can take a photo of the skirt on and perhaps you can advise me then. (Will probably be about a week or so)

Thanks Linda for taking the time to reply

The you will need a tirered petticoat. Something similar to a Jupon 153 not a 168!

I'm not sure what I will need under mine
The skirt is a heavy taffetta (I think )

Absolutely no problem. An image of you in it would be great as I can determine your build and fullness of a petticoat. Sometimes, for more of a pleasing look, photographers add extra bits to obtain the best picture. They can often use 2 petticoats!!

Hi Chel.
Taffeta is more of a lighter fabric, especially synthetic so having a net petticoat underneath doesn't drag the netting down like heavier fabrics can. (as in my daughters dress)
Are you looking for a hoop? If you are then most defo go for a single hoop with lots of net. Especially for taffeta. hth xx
