What are the things called that go underneath a prom dress to make it really poofy? Any ideas?
August 27th, 2009 | by prom |zzkay2000 asked:
I’ve got a prom dress that is poofy on the bottom and I was wondering, I know you can buy another layer to put underneath the dress to make it even more poofy at the bottom. Does anybody know what I’m talking about? If so, what are they called and can you buy them in a store? Thanks.

The only thing I can think of is crinoline or tafetta. You can go to a fabric store to get some. You can sew a basic skirt with it if all you’re doing is wearing it under a dress.

They’re called a slip. You can buy or rent one. They are white and have layers of netting in the the middle.

A crinoline (sp?) half slip is what I wore under my prom dress and wedding gown. Try a local bridal shop.

It’s called a crinolin. I know that Bridal Shops sell the fluffy slippy things that make wedding dresses have more volume. I got mine at David’s Bridal:
And here is a picture of a crinolin I found on eBay:
Peace!

It’s a slip and if they’re not sold where you bought your dress from you might try a bridal store.
