I tried many brands and styles of petticoat/crinoline. This one works the best for me. It doesn't cause a lot of bulk but gives you the desired effect. The ruffle style is much sexier in my opinion and less cumbersome so I really enjoy that style most and kind of regret my other purchases of different styles. I just wish Buenos Nino's would make even more colors available because I would buy them! The length is perfect and hard to find in this style in a non child size. Emerald green, candy apple red, etc I would buy!
