    My Inspiration:

    I LOVE this idea! I think adding a little peek-a-boo surprise color to the dress would be so fun! BUT, IDK if this would go with my dress. I feel like my dress isnt too "poofy" enough. I have no idea how to DIY this project, where to buy a cheaper Crinoline that would even go with my dress, or what color would match my colors. I am probably looking for a Coral/Guava or Orchid Green color to dye. Any suggestions? Thanks :)

    If you love the look, you should definitely give it a try. :) Just make sure you practice on scrap tulle from a craft store before attempting the dyeing on your crinoline...

    I'm no good with how to dye. But you can buy crinoline's of all shapes and sizes at a place like David's Bridal. That's where I got mine.

    I know this is uber trendy right now, but i might attempt a very, very subtle blush color to compliment my sequins. Let me know how it turns out!

    If you want to do it go for it!  I had planned on coloring mine but the seamstress kept it with the alterations and I won't have time to dye it before the wedding.

    I say buy some tulle and practice and see if you like the end result. I think it would be interesting to have a bit of color
