Gown Crinoline

Gown Crinoline is a post from: My Wedding Blog

Pink or green bridal Crinoline/slip/petticoat?

I have looked everywhere for a colored crinoline for under my sis's gown. I don't want to go the DIY route because I am just too accident prone for that. I am hoping someone might have come across an online retailer and can steer me to the right place. Thanks so much!

I've been looking for a black one and it's hard. Try this site, they have a bunch of different colors.

I see that they have red, pink, black and white.

Good Luck!

The Wedding Dresses Essentials For Dummies: Made Even Easier!

No arguments necessary: As a bride, you ought to have a basic understanding of wedding dresses and their various styles. Being blind to these things is simply inexcusable.

So, where should you start? Why, research, of course. Learn as much as you can about the silhouettes, the cuts and the designs. Explore the hue options for the bridesmaids' dresses. Cram about cuts as you would for an exam. Maybe these tips would help:

1. Consider your body shape.

Your wedding day is not about the dress. It is about you. Choose designs that flatter your figure. Is your body type an hourglass, triangle, rectangle, or inverse triangle? Each type of figure has a specific cut that would flatter it best.

2. Your waistline

As they say, wedding dresses are also all about your waist. Again, this would vary on the body type. Women with larger hips ough to go for high-waisted bridal gowns, such as the ever-notorious empire-cut waistline. You could also try the princess seam.

Busty women should have their waislines farther from their busts, as possible. The Basque waist is perfect, being lower than the natural waistline.

Hourglass-shaped women are luckiest of the bunch. You can show off your natural waist with ease and comfort.

3. Neckline

The sweetheart neckline? Perfect for bosomy brides. It perfectly accentuates your enviable assets to a T. For the not-so-busty few, square necklines, spaghetti strap or strapless designs do the trick.

And now for the skirts. Don't fret, ladies, this will only take a moment to learn.

1. Sheaths

It seems to be tailor-made for women with slim, balanced figures. This one, is merciless and unforgiving and is made only for a select few. Sheaths DO not conceal anything. So you better think twice before taking this dress on.

2. A-lines

These types of skirts flare gracefully from the waist to form an "A". This is the safer choice. A bit more forgiving than the sheath, A-lines are extremely popular -- and rightfully so. It can flatter just about any body type.

3. Ball gowns

If you associate yourself with this word: short, then this one is not right for you. The ball gown's full skirt may be a bit overwhelming -- more so, if you lack a bit more, uh, height.

Ball gowns give off a royal-feel. Picture Disney Princess-ish style. However, you must note that princess-bride wannabes have a price to pay if they pick this as well. The crinolines and slips are extremely heavy and bulky to wear.

4. Empire-waist

This one is more casual than those mentioned above. They are light and flowing an not fussy to wear at all. For pregnant brides, this may be the gown you would want to use. These type of dresses will not draw in as much attention to your belly as much as, say, a sheath would.

Had enough? That's not the last of it. Don't think you're off the hook that easily. The next things you have to consider are your wedding favors and bridesmaids' dresses. Both should complement the wedding dresses you have so meticulously grabbed, and not the other way around.

Wedding Gown Crinoline

Wedding Gown Crinoline is a post from: My Wedding Blog

What is a wedding gown with organza put into it?

My dressmaker just told me I had the option of getting a petticoat/crinoline slip or having an organza put into my dress. Which is the better option? What is organza? Will it be permanently attached to the dress?
Thanks so much, I will definitely take your advice!

It is a way to "poof" out the skirt. A petticoat is a separate piece of clothing . It can move around and it will add fabric/inches to your waistline as it would double the fabric. Organza sewn right into the gown, as a few separate stiffer layers of the skirt, is more expensive but a classier, more elegant way to handle the "poofy" requirement. They usually sew the organza starting below the waistline so your gown fits you more snugly where you want it! Go with the organza!!

Petticoat

A petticoat or underskirt is an article of clothing for women; specifically an undergarment to be worn under a skirt, dress or sari. The petticoat is a separate garment hanging from the waist (unlike the chemise).

blue t-shirt
In historical contexts (sixteenth to mid-nineteenth centuries), petticoat refers to any separate skirt worn with a gown, bedgown, bodice or jacket; these petticoats are not strictly speaking underwear as they were made to be seen.

in both historical and modern contexts, petticoat refers to skirt-like undergarments worn for warmth or to give the skirt or dress the desired fashionable shape. In this context a petticoat may be called a waist slip or underskirt (UK) or half slip (US), with petticoat restricted to extremely full garments. Petticoat can also refer to a full-length slip in the UK,[1] although this usage is somewhat old-fashioned.

Petticoat is the standard name in English for any underskirt worn as part of non-Western clothing, as with the sari.

The practice of wearing petticoats as undergarments was well established by 1585. Petticoats were worn throughout history by women who wanted to have the currently fashionable shape created by their clothing. The petticoat(s), if sufficiently full or stiff, would hold the overskirt out in a pleasingly domed shape and give the impression of a smaller waist than the wearer actually had. It would also complement the desired large bust.

Elaborately decorated petticoats were worn under open-fronted gowns and looped overskirts from the mid-sixteenth century. Eighteenth century petticoats of wool or silk were often quilted for additional warmth and were worn with matching short gowns or jackets, which could be fashioned like a man's jacket with military details and trimmings. These ankle-length petticoats remained a rural fashion, especially in the UK, into the nineteenth century and are a part of Welsh national dress.

Elaborate, lacy petticoats were worn with elegant silk dresses in the eighteenth century in much of Europe and America, sometimes supported by whalebone frames. The Laurel and Hardy film adaptation of Auber's comic opera Fra Diavolo offers a glimpse of the intricate petticoats, corsets, and other underwear worn in the eighteenth century, especially in a scene where actress Thelma Todd prepares for bed, assisted by a maid. Colored pictures, called "fashion plates," were used to advertise the popular dresses and lingerie of the eighteenth century, a practice that continued through the nineteenth century until the introduction of photography around 1840.

In the early nineteenth century, dresses became narrower and simpler with much less lingerie. Then, as the waltz became popular in the 1820s, full-skirted gowns with petticoats were revived in Europe and the United States. By the mid nineteenth century, petticoats were worn over hoops, which were placed over other underwear, including a corset cover, a corset, and drawers. The popular novel Gone with the Wind provides considerable, detailed descriptions of these fashions. One scene in the 1939 film adaptation with actress Vivian Leigh gives a good idea of the layers of petticoats and underwear that were worn in the 1860s.

The sheer weight of the clothing, along with the tightness of the corsets, sometimes caused women to faint. The voluminous, layered Victorian petticoats were not worn to hide the legs, as twentieth century commentators later claimed; they actually enhanced the stylish figure in the centuries before female attractiveness was defined in large part by how much naked leg was revealed, as has been the case since 1960.

The use of multiple petticoats continued to be popular until the 1870s, when the bustle was introduced, resulting in a return of narrower skirts. Some full-skirted gowns with petticoats were revived in the 1890s into the early twentieth century, but most women continued to wear relatively narrow skirts. The "Gibson Girl" look with white blouses and long, narrow skirts was very popular at the turn-of-the-century.

For the first two decades of the twentieth century, multiple petticoats fell out of fashion; narrow, sometimes tight, skirts became more common. Then, in the late 1920s, chiffon dresses with several sheer petticoats became fashionable. With the Great Depression in the 1930s, narrow skirts returned and petticoats again were unpopular until the end of the decade when revived for some evening, prom, and wedding gowns. World War II, with its rationing and general shortage of materials, brought an end to petticoats.

Petticoats were revived by Christian Dior in his full-skirted New Look of 1947 and tiered, ruffled, stiffened petticoats remained extremely popular during the 1950s, especially with teenage girls. Most of the petticoats were netlike crinoline, sometimes made of horsehair. Increasingly, nylon chiffon, taffeta, and organdy were used in petticoats. Many department stores carried an extensive variety of styles and colors of petticoats until the early 1960s. They were also available through the famous Sears and J.C. Penney catalogues. Typically, at least three single petticoats were worn, until manufacturers began making double and triple layer petticoats. A narrow slip was usually worn under the petticoats, especially the crinoline type, because they tended to be "scratchy".

Famed designer Edith Head designed a number of gowns and dresses, supported by multiple layers of petticoats, for actresses such as Grace Kelly and Doris Day, who appeared in Alfred Hitchcock films in the 1950s.[3] Dinah Shore frequently wore dresses with petticoats on her NBC television shows[citation needed] Actress Connie Stevens, who appeared in television series and movies, said she wore petticoats as long as possible because she had wide hips.[4] Other entertainers who often wore petticoats were Brenda Lee, Connie Francis, and Patti Page.

By the middle of the 20th century, the full petticoat was somewhat rare, having been commonly replaced by simple, ungathered underskirts/waist slips (UK) or half slips (US). However, petticoats were still worn for proms and weddings.

Ruffled white or unbleached cotton petticoats were a brief fashion under Prairie skirts in the 1970s, and remain a component of Western wear. Short, full petticoats in the 1950s style are also commonly worn by squaredancers.

There was a major attempt to revive separate petticoats in 1987. However, by that time, most women who wanted very full skirts for proms, parties, or weddings bought dresses or skirts with attached crinoline petticoats.

Lately the full, tiered petticoat has made a small comeback in the alternative subcultures, especially the gothic and Lolita subculture. They have also been popular with some cross-dressers. Various petticoats have also been used in films and musicals dealing with the 1950s, such as Grease, West Side Story, Peggy Sue Got Married, and Back to the Future, as well as occasional vintage rock music festivals, especially in Germany.[5] Although the traditional purpose for the petticoat is no longer in fashion, the general design has stayed the same with minor alterations including ripping and/or the usage of bright or generally non-traditional colors.

Petticoats are also making a comeback due to recent trends towards lavish weddings and grandiose bridal attire. Petticoats are commonly worn under bridal gowns with full skirts as a means of maintaining the gown's intended silhouette.

Also, people who dress in period costumes have begun wearing petticoats for a more authentic look. A number of websites offer a great variety of petticoats for sale, while other websites show historic and modern photographs of petticoats, often worn by models.

The everyday use of petticoats in the 1950s and early 1960s appears to have passed. Most women today dress more simply and practically. Even dresses and skirts are not as popular as they once were, with many women regularly wearing jeans and shirts or pantsuits. However, there are women (and cross-dressing men) who still like the look of a dress or skirt with petticoats, as well as the use of corsets, girdles, or garter belts with nylon stockings instead of pantyhose. Comedian Amy Sedaris has appeared on television wearing a 1950s gown with multiple petticoats.
