Your dress will not get stuck between your legs! Since there is already a built in crinoline, I really don't think it will need more poof. Do you have a picture of the dress so we can see it?
I remember cullotes :-)
Without seeing your gown, I don't know if it would be a problem or not. I suggest walking around in it; like up and down a hallway or something similar to see if that is a problem. Also, if you are going to be outside and the wind picks up, it may be a problem. Another suggestion would be to ask if you can purchase one of the used slips that they have at the store. They have usually been worn a lot, so don't have as much poofiness.
I am going with the fullest slip available to have as much poof as I possibly can.
Here are some pics (please ignore the horrible lighting that makes my dress look grey! ... also, I removed the broach and have added organza flowers I purchased from a seller on etsy. Irrelevant, but FYI!) ...
@noritake ... the problem is that I can't walk around in it because it needs to be hemmed so I just step all over it. And i can't have it hemmed without knowing what slip I'm wearing underneath. Ahhhhh! Oh, and I'm sure your poof is very lovely! I just can't pull it off ... too short! :)
What style is your dress? Do you have a picture? The only wedding gowns I've seen lately that have crinolines under them are ballgowns. I can't imagine your dress doing as you've described unless you were in tornado force winds.
I just had one removed from my dress as I'm way too old for that poofiness and felt ridiculous in it. My fear was that it would throw off the lines of the dress but it was much better without it. If you like your dress the way it is,don't be talked into anything that makes you uncomfortable or doubt yourself.
Sorry...posting at the same time. Pretty dress! Is this without the added slip? I don't think you need anything more than you have if it is.
I think your dress looks great without the extra, and with that style, I don't see you having and "cullote" moments :-)
I like the poof that the dress has without having an additional crinoline. No cullotes there! I took pictures and it was massively windy and I didn't have any cullote moments either!
Yes, the pics are without any slip. I agree. I like the dress the way it is and don't want anymore poof. Just afraid about it getting caught between my legs now. As I said, I can't walk around in it yet, and have never wore a wedding dress around :), so I don't know what to expect! It seems from some PP, that maybe this isn't something I need to worry about ...
ETA: posted at the same time! Thanks! I think I will just try to wear it with nothing as I intended. I don't want to change the look of the dress by adding something, and if "culottes" aren't a real concern, then that's that! :)
I honestly don't know if it's something you have to worry about, but I doubt it. If all else fails, you find a way to fix the problem (if there is one) AFTER the dress has been hemmed and you've gotten to walk around in it some.
Your dress is beautiful, by the way!

Haha! Prob not funny to anyone that doesn't remember these (kinda like oversized walking shorts?) ... but this is the term my MOH used to describe the look of my dress should it get caught between my legs when I'm walking around! It struck me as so funny!
But, anyway, I never really knew this could be a concern until an associate at the store mentioned it. She asked what slip I was wearing under my dress, and I really didn't know. (I suppose I planned on none?) Now I really need some help since I apparently know nothing! My dress is already a little fuller than I originally thought I wanted, but I really love it ... AS IS. I was told it is intended to be worn with a fuller slip to give it an even fuller shape ... and to prevent it from getting stuck between my legs. This is the slip that was suggested ...
I hated it when I tried it with the dress! My dress already has a built in crinoline and with the added fullness of this slip, I looked TOO poofy! As I described it to my mom ... like a cupcake.
So, now I need to find out: 1) If I wear nothing under my dress, will it get stuck between my legs when I walk and turn into "wedding culottes"? and 2) If the answer to 1 is "yes," then can anyone suggest a slip that wouldn't add so much poof to my dress? I honestly don't know what I'd do without the help of WB sometimes!! Thanks! :)
