Hello!

Sorry to bother you but I'm so lost regarding the what is the right petticoat/underskirt!
I've got my wedding dress (yay!) and am nowdesperately need help with finding what petticoat/hooped skirt to wear. I've been trawling through all the forums and advice about it and just when I think I might know the right one another one pops up!
I initially didn't think I would go for a petticoat as I didn't want to big a shape but I could really do with some help when moving around and with the shape! I would ideally like something to give the dress a bit of structure to make it easier to move in but don't really want something that would make it too big or over the top!

My Dress is Maggie Sottero CoCo:

I would appreciate advice from Linda (the wonderful resident expert on wedding dresses/petticoats) or any advice from anyone as I'm completely lost! Thank you so much for taking the time to read!

  • Thanks White Sapphire! Was going to post there but last message on that thread says "Hi everyone Linda doesnt seem to come on here very often so you may have a long wait for a reply,im sure there is another way of contacting her maybe try putting out a FAO as im sure i seen another member give some info on how to reach her HTH"

    I think she's very much in demand!

    Linda also has a facebook page so you could try a question through that....otherwise ellay who got married last weekend had her dress designed and made by Linda and she posted some pics then...you could search the thread out and send possibly send Linda a PM that way....it should be on this board,possibly a couple of pages back so quite easy to find hopefully

    She a very busy lady...but also very helpful. and friendly..and I'm sure she can point you in the right direction

  • Hi LEJC,

    Thanks for your suggestions! I have looked at Ellay's dress (how beautiful!) but have no idea how to PM Linda :o
    Also would tempted to leave question on her facebook but slightly apprehensive as don't want to be hassling her on her personal or business space (does that make sense?). I figure as much as I would really like her help don't really want to be chasing someone who is busy! :-)

    Soya...its really easy to PM...just click on the blue name at the side of the post and it brings up a box of actions...one near the top is ..send a private message or some similar wording...click on that and send your message...next time linda signs in she will get a notification and hopefully get back to you...

  • Thanks LEJC, felt a bit stupid not knowing how to PM! I can find an option to PM you when I try but it doesn't appear with her profile. :(
