We recommend eBay for low prices on bridal crinolines!
What is a Bridal Crinoline?
A bridal crinoline, petticoat or slip are interchangeable terms that refer to a garment worn beneath the wedding gown to create fulllness and shape the skirt. Some gowns have a built-in crinoline, but it's best to purchase the crinoline separately for proper shaping of your wedding gown.
Selecting a Crinoline for Your Wedding Dress
Bridal crinolines are commonly available in three fullness levels. Most styles have an adjustible elastic or drawstring waist. Narrow A-line crinolines are designed to work with a smaller skirt diameter. Medium full crinolines are used to achieve a medium skirt silhouette, and a very full crinoline is used to create a very full skirt, such as a large A-line or Ball gown.
We found an excellent seller on eBay who provides wholesale pricing on bridal petticoats and hoop skirts. Angel's Bridal Shop features bridal petticoats in A-line, Extra, and Super Full styles as well as flowergirl crinolines. They also sell 4, 5, and 6 hoop slips. Customer feedback is positive on the quality and service of this seller.
A bridal hoop skirt is designed to provide the smooth appearance of a crinoline combined with the strong foundation of a hoop. Instead of using layers of fabric to create fullness, only the framework is covered with a layer of fabric. If the hoops are adjustable, they can provide a custom silhouette. Hoop skirts are an ideal choice for warm climates or heavy ball gown and very full skirt A-line dresses. Hoop skirts are also worn with medieval, renaissance, victorian and vintage gowns.
