IMO, the material of the dress looks better without being pushed out by a trumpet petticoat. Lace's natural drape is part of its beauty. Such a gorgeous gown! Congrats!
I agree with jjmomma, I think it looks great without the petticoat!
Yes, definitely try one on. And try to find one that has the least amount of "poof". See what that looks like. I think the dress is beautiful as is, but I would want to see it with a crinoline just to see if added anything. Or took away.
I say yes, or at least try one on.
I personally prefer the shape that a mermaid petticoat/hoop gives. It emphasizes the curvaceous cut of the dress, and therey emphasizing and flattering the curves of the bride wearing the dress.
Hmmm can we see a picture with the petticoat? I like it as is, but would need to see it with a petticoat to make an informed decision! Dress is GORGEOUS on you btw!
Maybe not a full-fledged crinolines, but your seamstress could add a couple layers of tulle. It definitely needs a little more umph.
If you decide to go with one, I would not go with a real poofy one. Maybe just a slight flare to it.
I debating about this with my own dress. I think trumpet slips are really cute and trendy, but I think the dress also looses some if its elegance. I love it when the fabric pools on the floor and looks all drapey :)
It looks great so i would need to see what a petticoat would do to it to make it better.
GAH so pretty!!! This is my ideal dress.
No, I don't think you need one. And for the sake of comfort, I wouldn't.
I love a defined trumpet shape so I would explore a slip, crinoline, or some tulle.
I didn't want a crinoline either but fell in love with a trumpet shaped gown... the sales associate sold me on the crinoline- here's why...
Walk in a straight line with your dress sans crinoline- does it kind of bunch up between your ankles, especially when you stop?
Now do the same with a crinoline. For me- this solved the problem and made the dress look fabulous from all angles.
You can always cut out layers if you want less poof- but try it on!!

Here's my dress when I tried it on at the bridal salon. Unhemmed, note that I'm standing on a pedestal.
Do I need a trumpet petticoat for more fullness? I'm not wearing one in the picture, and am unsure.
