    Hiya :)

    I used

    4 HOOP WEDDING DRESS CRINOLINE PETTICOAT UNDERSKIRT UK (130527441630)

    and it was £14 with £4 delivery. It came really quickly and fit through the letter box :)

    It really set my dress off and everyone agreed it was amazing. People kept asking if my dress was heavy but I couldn't feel a thing.

    Hope this helps x

    Yeah it made my dress look BIG! Everyone commented but that it still looked nice as well and not OTT if you know what I mean. My dress was like diamond white satiny with pleats down the front so could be both a gown without a hoop and then a big dress with, and it really was big. Anyone I had mentioned it to before said "you weren't kidding" lol

    Like I said I didn't feel any weight at all. I felt in control of the hoop with my heels on, but even when I had kicked them off in the evening reception I was still fine :)

    Fab i cant wait till next week now.thanx for your help and ive saved that ebay seller for when i know which udnerskirt i want x
  • I cant help with sellers as i actually found mine in a charity shop when they were having a mad wedding sale during the royal nuptuals!

    However, dont dismiss having a tutu style underskirt instead of hoops depending on what style your dress is...
    my dress was A line and the actual hoops would have stood out a mile, so mine was lots of layers of netting, like a massive tutu and i loved it, it poofed my dress out a treat and wasnt obvious what i was wearing.
