Hello, Bees!

I wasn't planning on wearing a crinoline underneath as my dress has some tulle under the lace, but now I'm not sure after looking at some photos. I definitely do not want the bottom to be too puffy, but I don't want it to just hang there looking limp either.

Now that I'm writing this, I think I've talked myself into buying one. Plus it will lift up the hem a bit saving on alterations.

For the brides that did wear one, where did you buy it?

I decided against wearing one... I really like the look of it, but with my wedding being outside in the middle of summer, I think I would get too hot. I was going to get one through the store where I got my dress, but I am just going to have the seamstress add a couple of layers into the dress instead. I have heard the one from David's bridal is good, also lightinthebox.com has one for a good price.

@Cdoonan: I agree. I decided against it because they are just so hot!

Hi I'm wearing one a medium size one and I love the volume it gives my dress,but I agree with the fellow bees I got very hot during my first fitting..like literally my thighs starting sweating!! Lol and I was only in it for 25 min!!!! it was from all the crinoline but my seamstress told me to add baby powder on my thighs and inside of crinoline and that should help me from sweating. Hopefully I can stand it for 7 hours.lol
