Crinny Question

Hi ladies
I am trying to decide if I want to rent a crinoline slip from my bridal boutique for I think $75 or if I want to buy one from eBay or something. Are all crinoline petticoats the same or do they vary? I see a ton on eBay for cheaper than my boutique but I don't want to buy the wrong thing and then still have to come out of the cash for the rental. Here is a pic of my dress without crinoline just so you can have an idea of what I need the crinoline to go with. All help is welcome.

Thanks,
Sheena

    Do you need one? It looks beautiful without, I put one on layaway then changed my mind then went to the thirft store and saw the exact same one with the tags still on it for 15 dollars. Try a bridal consignment first before you rent. And Ebay I got my corset on ebay.

    I brought a petticoat from Light in the Box for $9.99. I don't know how it will fit yet it should be here next week.

    They all do the same thing. I bought mine for $10 from a coworker who got it at a thrift/resale shop!

    Wow their stuff is very reasonably priced and I like it. The ones on eBay are from China and delivery time is after my freaking wedding so that is out. Thanks for putting me up on the site.

    Pinkcottoncandy I have to find one in my area!

    Consider skipping the crinny.  I think your dress looks great without it!

    I'll look around and see if I can find somewhere you can get a cheaper one, My place charges $60 but you get $30 back but pp sound way better so I may try to find me one as well lol

    Oh let e check I might get some money back when I return it but I will take you up on the offer to check some things out in your search. that site that vanna mentioned had some nice deals so if all else fails I might have to order from there after I hear how her item turned out.

    I like it without it.  I think the only thing you have to consider is the amount of fullness.
