Poirier Petticoat Guide
At The Beautiful Bride Shop, we understand how essential it is for your wedding dress to drape perfectly on your big day. That’s why we offer a wide range of petticoats by Poirier, known for their high quality and optimal comfort. In this guide, we explain which Poirier petticoat best suits each dress style and outline the differences in circumference and number of hoops, so you can make the perfect choice.
Which Poirier Petticoat Suits Your Dress?
Each dress requires a specific petticoat. For example:
- Sheath and Mermaid Dresses: For sleek silhouettes like sheath or mermaid dresses, we recommend a petticoat with a smaller circumference (around 190 cm) and a single hoop. This provides subtle support without adding much volume, preserving the dress’s streamlined silhouette.
- Empire and A-line Dresses: For Empire and A-line dresses, we suggest a slightly larger circumference, such as 230 cm, with two hoops. This creates an elegant flare and a flowing shape that complements these styles beautifully.
- Princess Dresses: For a true princess look, petticoats with a larger circumference (300 cm or more) and multiple hoops are ideal. This adds maximum volume and creates a full silhouette that perfectly matches the regal look of a princess dress.
Differences Between Circumference and Number of Hoops
- Circumference: The larger the circumference, the wider the skirt falls. A circumference of 190 cm creates a subtle effect, while a circumference of 360 cm provides a dramatic, voluminous look, ideal for princess and ball gowns.
- Number of Hoops: The number of hoops determines support and volume. A petticoat with one hoop is light and flexible, perfect for a natural look. In contrast, models with three or four hoops offer a sturdy, full shape, especially suitable for dresses with more volume.
