It did lol, but had more wants than for sales so just decided to do a job lot order with Jupon direct at a lesser cost than Princess sparkle.

Ooh...that's useful to know!

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

I think so, I'm just not sure until it has been altered because at the moment it is about 8" or more too long so I'm not sure if it's the extra length that is dragging it down IYKWIM

I'll have to see how many layers it already has under because there are a few

You won't be able to alter the length until you have the petticoat.
Hollywood dreams have a very stiff netting underneath their gowns before you start adding pettis. I was watching Great British Weddings today and a girl had a super HW gown on. However, for me the hoop spoilt it. As I say, I'm not a great hoop fan but don't let my opinions sway you. As a thought, it's much easier to pee in a net petti than a hoop!!

So Linda are you a seamstress as well? I know you're not very far from me and I can see me needed lots of help with my wedding dress, as in alterations

Some taffetas are quite thin. My daughters dress is because, well, it's for her for a one off so didn't want to go overly expensive. These thinner fabrics can show the hoop or the line of the hoop. By all means have a hoop but make sure there is plenty of net over it not just a hoop petticoat.
Does that make sense?
You can always ring me and i'll explain. x

Oh my goodness, i couldn't agree with you more and its something not all brides think of! I was a MoH for a friend years ago and my dress had one large hoop. Going to the loo turned into a 2 person affair - the first time i tried it alone the whole hoop and dress flipped over on my head and i was temporarily trapped INSIDE the dress...and getting the bride into a toilet cubicle at the reception was hysterical...making me laugh now just thinking about it! :rotfl:

lol, May. Thought of 27 dresses where you see her helping 2 brides on the loo!!!
