It looks Fabulous!!!!!

WOW! That is gorgeous under your gown. You must be so thrilled!

It looks so good!

I just dyed mine the other day and it is BRIGHT PINK! Arn't they so much fun. I love mine. The seamstress was so surprised by mine, I can't wait to hear what people say about yours!

Thanks girls, I'm really pleased with how it looks under the dress in the end.
Everyone I've told I was planning on doing it just look at me like I was weird or they had a bad taste in their mouth, so I'm not going to tell anyone else now and leave it as a surprise!!

Stupid question here, but it's mega creased and will be when we get to Florida regardless of whether I did something to it before we left, but do the people at Carolyn Allen's do anything to decrease crinnies, or is it normal and they're expected to look creased so it doesn't matter??

Hi Meryll!! You did a great job with your crinny!

 

[lpizzuro123]

I love the way it looks under your dress. Does it kind of show a bit when you walk? I originally wanted one of the Alfred Angelo dresses with claret in it but in the end decided to go all white. I might just have to dye one red. I might not wear it to the ceremony but wear it to the dessert party. I would love a photo with the red peeking out.

Thanks Lynnie! It was fun to do as well! I'm getting into the whole craftiness thing...

I don't think it shows unless I actually hoist the dress up as there is such a lot of dress, but I didn't have anyone to fasten me in properly so it's hard to tell. But no matter, I can make sure I have some photos where it is hoisted!

Hey Hun,

Love the petticoat - it looks fantastic with the dress!

Carolyn Allen told me it would be $20 to press the petticoat, the veil is included in the cost of steaming the dress.

 

[baywatchextra]

oh im so impressed it turned out fab!! still looks bright pink on its own though!! x

 

[BaBeeCee14]

Meryll - your crinnie came out great! I love the rich color! Nice job!

 

[lpizzuro123]

I ordered an inexpensive one online and it just came in but I am not sure if I am happy with it or not. It is short - what length is it supposed to be and I don't think the one I ordered was wide enough - it was a medium fullness A line. I'll have to check some more.

Thank you oh wise one - I think it will definitely need pressing, it is SERIOUSLY creased!

Sssssssh!! It's the camera flash, honest

Meryll - your crinnie came out great! I love the rich color! Nice job!

Thanks Catherine, I'm really pleased with it! It's massive though, I think I'm gonna have to put that and my dress in a separate suitcase and put it in the dreaded hold I know a lot of girls here refuse to do this, which scares me even more, but I just don't think I have the option as it's a beast of a skirt!

Linda,
I ordered mine from ebay, from a seller called YanMemory, and it's really really full and full-length too. It was a hoopless 4 layer 3 tulle crinoline, I'm sure they have more availability and I can recommend them I only bought mine as a cheapie to do a test run on and it's ended up being the one I'll use.

No way is mine going in the hold, the flight would be just awful, sitting there thinking about it the whole time.

 

[lpizzuro123]

I saw that one on ebay but as we are so close to the wedding it said their delivery time was too long. I might just forget about it or I might try to find one locally.

Thanks,
Linda

Stop scaring me!
