Waitaminute, you're in/near SF. Head to Piedmont Boutique, on Haight. They should have a gazillion petticoats and crinolines.
Ooh, I could do that. I even have tentative plans with JZ and Hec in SF next weekend.
Thanks!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Piedmont (and the other slutty stocking store a few blocks up, the one we went to a couple weekends ago) has short crinolines, but if you want longer ones (say, midcalf, like for classic '50s dresses) you may have to look a bit harder.
Actually, my one set of midcalf crinolines has been looking tired and squashed lately, so, Jilli, if you have any suggestions I'm open. The fluffier the better, please.

Honestly? eBay. There are tons of shops on there that sell mid-calf crinolines. Yes, House of Vamp [link] has them, but there's a possible six-week wait time for them.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
A crinoline won't fit under this, but oh lordy does momma want.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Momma should get.

Wow. Yes, juliana, you should have that.

Do we know how true those sizes run?

It's made by Stop Staring, right? Their sizes run pretty true to the measurements given. Since it's a stretchy fabric, there will be about 1.5" of flex room to the stated measurements.

juliana, if I hadn't already bought a dress, I would seriously consider that one!
I've been debating on whether I should get a crinoline to go under my prom dress. I tried to find a picture of it to link to, but no luck. I could use some advice when I get to SF if it would be better with or without. Hopefully, I'll have time either Friday or Saturday to work that out.
