    I had a single hoop which was enough for me, Mine was in a nylon type material which I got from the bay, it was good enough for what I wanted anyway, paid about £10 for it.

    I'd think a three hoop would be fine, have you tried your dress on with a skirt and if so, how many hoops was that? my friend wanted big and poofy, cannot recall how many hoops she got back ended up having to take some out.

    I'd say your best bet would be to ask the sales assistant in the shop u got your dress. The lady in the shop I got mines advised me to get it on 3-bay as its a lot cheaper. she told me I'd need a fishtail hoop. As for material I havent a clue!

    Ask the shop they should have some. my shop only sell 1 at 45 but it wasnt what i was after i wanted it a bit bigger to take dress off my legs(i need a nermaid hoop for an aline dress as in so shot an aline hoop would poof my dress too much)

    The hoop ive gone for is 45 to hire but they dry clean them all and even the worn out display hoop gave a gs shape to my dress so im not worried. I couls of bought it online for 60 but their number and the website number didnt match so i wasnt willing to risk it..


    But yea your dress shop shud be able to advise u maybe ask to try some get their names and codes and try find it online or 3bay x

    That's ridunculous, they are only trying to get you to buy there. But like my shop with a box for storage, I got one cheap on the bay and they wanted loads for it

    I'm sure that's not the only hoop suitable for your dress. Sounds like they are just trying to get a sale out of you! I would personally search for a similar one on the bay.. yeah it may not be of the same quality but as long as it does the job, does it matter?

    That is a petticoat rather than a hoop. Or is a petticoat what you are after?

    I've looked on there as well, there is one there pick up only from North shields at £139. But appears you can get others cheaper.

    Wow that seems pricey for a hoop. I've been quoted £80 from my bridal store for my hoop.

    I've been quoted £45 from the bridal shop that I bought my dress from..... I think that is reasonable and I know it's correct for my dress so I'm happy to pay that
