Subject : The Poufy Brigade

<p>I'm joining it</p>
<p>I posted yesterday that I had found a lovely fabric on the Whirlingturban website that I just had to have. I've heard back from Katherine the designer and she says it won't work as a sarong type skirt and suggested having the wing bust style with full skirt - oh, and a contrast colour underneath.</p>
<p>Dress style is like this</p>
<p>So where on earth am I going to find a petticoat with enough pouf? Don't worry, it's a rhetorical question - I've been on this site long enough to know where to get such an item.</p>
<p>Dagnamit! I've succumbed to all of those pretty sticky out dresses I've seen on this site </p>
<p><br />

My post has gone all weird and I can't fix it.

Skipula,
The sticky out, poufy dresses look SO much fun to wear!
I was at the designer wedding show on the weekend and the girls in the CA dresses looked like they were having such a good time!
Its going to be beautiful...are you thinking of this instead of your other beautfiful dress or as well as?!

Oh that’s lovely Skip! I absolutely love those huge poufy dresses- the more petticoat the better in my opinion! What colour are you thinking of getting? I think you need to buy some REALLY expensive shoes to go with it Wink

My little party-flower girls are having dressed with big petticoats. I’m considering buying them an extra one each, just to make them even bigger. They’re going to look so cute!

Binky, you're a bad influence LOL!

I have no idea what colour I want underneath - I'm in consultation with my designer (haha!). I've sent her a picture of my leopard print shoes so maybe one of the colours in those. But I've also said I could wear other shoes if she had a better idea for a contrast. Oh dear, not more shoes LOL!

Chubbs, I think I'll just be wearing this dress but it means I can wear my other WT dresses before next July - I couldn't before as I didn't want to give the style away.

Ooh, fantastic! Doesn't it just make you feel so fabulous? What style are you having again? Was it the Peggy Would top like vintage_birdie had? I'm still patiently waiting for her wedding report once she gets back from honeymoon. Yay, excited!

Yes!! But my top half is very different to hers (sadly lacking!!) so it does look different. Shall I put a pciture up? I'm just emailing pics to Katherine, I'll try and work out photobucket again, i always get it wrong!!

Skipula! That is so dreamy! I love it! and now I want a whirlie turbie dress too....
Love the fitting at the waist, most flattering.

When I saw this thread on the home page I thought it was going to be about big meringues! So hey at least you're not THAT poufy!!

I know you'll have it in the other fabric but that peachy-pinky one is so cute!
Hope you and your dress will be very happy together! CONGRATS!!
