A wedding dress is the main attribute of a wedding celebration. However, without many additional elements, the bride's image looks incomplete. It's not just about accessories, jewelry and a bouquet, but also often a petticoat with rings under a wedding dress, which is commonly called a crinoline, is necessary.
Purpose
The purpose of the crinoline is to give the dress additional splendor. Ring-shaped details give wedding dresses enormous splendor and volume. Other accessories cannot boast such data. The crinoline helps to give shape to a voluminous skirt. Depending on the number and location of the rings, their girth determines the final shape of the skirt.
Voluminous skirts made of light fabrics or wedding dresses with one skirt fall between the legs when walking. In this case, if the dress is not planned to be voluminous, buy a petticoat with minimal rings. It protects the bride's appearance from the impression that she is wearing wide pants.
Varieties
It is recommended to choose a petticoat with rings for a wedding dress in the same salon where the dress itself is purchased. It is better to do this right away for several reasons:
- After purchasing a dress, many salons offer a discount on the purchase of a petticoat.
- You can determine whether the skirt looks good by trying it on with original wedding rings.
- When trying on a skirt in a salon, you may notice some flaws in a particular skirt model. By choosing the right details right away, you can avoid problems with creating an image for the celebration.
Before buying, you need to be familiar with the possible varieties of this item of clothing and the differences. The main options will be described below. This information will help when choosing a dress.
With flexible rings
A petticoat for a wedding dress with flexible parts is practical and easy to use. Soft parts make the bride's movements easier and lighter. When sitting, trying to get into a car or picking up the bride, the parts change their shape slightly, which means that the bride's legs remain covered. There are no difficulties during the first dance either. When the groom leans against the bride, the hem of her dress does not rise from behind so much that her legs are exposed. For these reasons, most brides prefer to choose this type of petticoat. It can be used when choosing skirts of various silhouettes and shapes. The number and location of the rings determine the shape of the dress and its splendor.
Many people think that these designs are less reliable and do not provide such expressive splendor. And yet they are popular and widespread. In addition, such things are easier to store, they fold and take up less space than a rigid frame.
With hard rings
These crinoline parts are connected with a rigid mesh. The frame of the connection is reliable and difficult to damage. In addition, the cheapness and availability of such petticoats is striking - you can buy them in almost every wedding salon. The number of rings in this version varies from one to seven. Their girth, location and distance between them determine the fullness of the skirt. Such details protect the bride's legs from her own skirt, and it becomes impossible to get tangled in the dress.
The main disadvantage of these rings is their rigidity. They are so hard that when walking, dancing, taking photos or any other movements of the bride, they may rise. In this case, the bride's legs become bare. It is difficult for the groom to take the bride in such a petticoat in his arms without exposing her. In addition, it is difficult to sit, and getting into a car becomes an almost impossible task. It is difficult even when walking up the stairs - the too rigid frame exposes the legs with every clumsy movement.
For dresses with trains
Making a petticoat for a dress with a train is difficult. This item of clothing must perform all its direct duties and serve as additional support for the train. The price of such petticoats is more expensive than for ordinary ones. The frame of this option is heavier and more stable, because if the train does not have a reliable support, it will look like a piece of fabric that drags along the floor behind the bride.
Such petticoats have a number of disadvantages. When sitting, trying to get into a car or choosing a pose for a photo shoot, the petticoat will be exposed. You can take a beautiful photo while sitting after choosing a pose, straightening the petticoat, and then laying the layers of the skirt on the petticoat.
It is difficult to buy such an option. Most often, there are options made to order for a specific train. Sewing such a petticoat to order is an expensive, complicated, long, painstaking business. To buy a quality product, you will still have to pay a considerable amount.
Jest
Jest has five layers of fabric that form ring waves. Jest is often used after a petticoat with rigid rings so that the tiers of fabric hide the rigid supports and the details do not stand out under the skirt. In an independent version, jest can be used for such dresses:
- Empire;
- A-line silhouette.
The main disadvantage of this option is the lack of splendor, if you do not wear another petticoat with rings under this one. Its significant advantage is that when worn over rings, it hides their rigidity. This is often necessary when choosing rigid rings and dresses that have thin or multi-layered fabric on the skirt:
- Organza;
- Chiffon;
- Atlas;
- Brocade;
- Taffeta;
- Tulle;
- Crepe;
- Silk;
- Lace;
- Satin;
- Velvet.
A jest worn over the rings helps to increase volume, smooth out transitions and ensure the bride's comfort when moving. This option may be necessary if at least one ring from the petticoat was noticed during the fitting or the location of the lower layer of the skirt began to shift while walking. A jest worn under the skirt protects the bride from such problems during the entire wedding celebration.
With soft rings on the fabric
These designs are similar to classic versions, they do not have rings at all. And yet, the fabric, supplemented with soft rings, will add a puffy touch to any dress. These versions have varieties depending on the number of rings and their splendor. There can be from one to seven rings. These petticoats have the following advantages:
- they allow the bride to make the dress visually more voluminous;
- the bride has freedom of movement, and fabric does not get tangled around her legs;
- the presence of fabric under the skirt allows the bottom layer of the dress to lie more beautifully;
- if necessary, the parts can be bent, so the bride can take any pose and be photographed without fear of being naked;
- it is easier for the groom to take the bride in his arms, her dress will take on a new shape, and her legs will not be exposed;
- The bride can sit and dance freely.
When choosing this option, remember that soft fabric parts do not cause allergic reactions or irritation on the skin.
How to fold a petticoat correctly
When the wedding is over, all the wedding attributes should be put away and hidden. This also applies to the petticoat. It is difficult to store a petticoat with lush details. Many people have a question: how to fold a petticoat so that it is convenient to store?
If you choose the option with hard rings, then they are simply stacked on top of each other. It is advisable to put such a petticoat in a fabric cover or in a box and store it in this form. If the parts are soft, then they should be stacked one on top of the other, then given the shape of an eight, stack two small rings and store it in a reduced form in a cover in the closet.
When choosing clothes for a wedding, you should think first of all about the bride's appearance and how the skirt will fit the specific petticoat you have chosen. It is advisable to choose this element right in the wedding salon when buying the dress. In this case, you will be able to achieve a harmonious combination between the details of the clothes.
