Crinoline Skirt Slip

Crinoline Skirt Slip
Crinoline or Hoop skirt?

HELP!!! I need someone with experience to help me out. My daughter was chosen to be the flower girl during our schools Homecoming ceremony. We live in a rural community so I am ordering her dress off of the internet. My question is to make her skirt more full I need a slip but don't know if I should use crinoline or a hoop. The length of the dress is 34" and my daughter measures 31.5, so I know I need some lift. The childrens slips I have found are either 17" or 32" long. Which should I get? I don't want it to raise too much because it is a floor length gown.
Here is a link to the dress I am referring to...

I just had this problem with a costume and we live out in the country too with not even one fabric store. We have to make almost everything. I decided the hoop would be too much and cause problems when sitting or using the restroom. So I went with crinoline. I actually found mine in a thrift store, the wedding dress section, and cut it down to what I wanted. Then I starched the heck out of it so it had the fullness I wanted. You may even may able to find a child's pageant dress at a thrift store and cut out the crinoline underneath to use. Those are already pretty stiff.
