(I'm tall and wear a size 11/12 with a 26 inch waist) Very happy to have such a great crinoline at such as low cost price. Much more flouncy than imagined though be careful how you pull it on as all netting is delicate and can tear. If you want petticoats showing a bit or a lot then one thing to note is that this will NOT work with below knee length and above knee swing dresses (Heartbreaker Sweetie Dress or Hell Bunny Mayday Dress for example) This works best with mini (not micro mini or costume micro mini) or mid thigh length dresses like Unique Vintage mini swing halter dress or Friday on My Mind Dixie Dress. If you just want a bell shape with no flounce showing then this will work with some longer dresses for a hoop skirt effect. Waist will not be comfortable past about 36 inches but can still be worn by a bigger gal just be careful getting it on. unless you have a super tiny waist (20 to 24 inches) and want a dramatic effect there is enough volume to not need a second skirt. GREAT DEAL FOR THE QUALITY!! will be buying all the colors and hoping they make more.
