The petticoat is as described and it is actually fluffier/fuller than the ones from David's Bridal. I also bought like 4 different other petticoats to compare (returned them) but none of them is fuller than this one. The only problem I have is that the petticoat itself is not strong enough to hold my heavy wedding dress in shape when I walk. There is no way to make the crinoline stiff enough even after I sent it to the cleaners to get it steamed (waste of money). I ended up having to walk and kick the dress at the same time to prevent from tripping because the petticoat couldn't hold the shape of my dress. It's a little awkward but it works. Advice: Make sure that your dress is not too heavy and if the petticoat do not work for you the first time, then it won't. Don't waste money taking it to the cleaners.
