This is a link to the dress I've bought
It says that it needs a 20'' petticoat, but that seems short to me

What do you think?
Can you recommend the best place to buy a petticoat?

[MissMiss1]

Great! They haven't got the raspberry dress is my size :-(

[MissMiss1]

I've found the dress in an orchid colour. Do you think a pink petticoat, maybe like this! would go?

Is orchid like a pink/purple colour? I think pink would be lovely or a bright purple depending on the shade of the dress.

Here's the dress

What do you think?

[youmakemydreams]

I think the pink would look fab with that but I do like bright colours.
I absolutely love the orchid. I think I will be buying that one as well.
I've been caught up searching for the perfect dress in navy all the lovely colours were passing me by.

What about looking here
viva-la-rosa
They sell on ebay and Amazon.

[MissMiss1]

Youmakemydreams, do you think those petticoats I linked to look good quality. Or do you suggest buying from somewhere else?

[youmakemydreams]

I think the petticoat is worth a shot. It says it's lined to avoid scratching and pulled tights so it seems to be reasonably well made and thought out. I like the purple one thinking about getting it and trying it. Love the colour.

Hi youmakemydreams

Just wanted to say a big thank you for your help.

My dress n petticoat have arrived and I totally love them

[youmakemydreams]

Aww no problem. Glad you're happy. Did you go for the pink in the end?

[MissMiss1]

I chose the purple petticoat and it is perfect. It looks super with the dress. I've got another wedding later on in the year and plan on ordering the dress in a different colour and the pink petticoat.

Thank you again so much

Nyla Rose have loads of lovely petticoats in lots of colours, I have bought from them loads of times and they are a really nice company too.

I think their petticoats are about 25 inches buy they aren't itchy at all like the other cheaper ones can be (NR are under £25)

They sit just above knee length on me and i am 5'4'' x hope that helps xx
