derby party outfit

[LoveTrains]

Ok. I am going to this derby party thing on saturday. I have my fascinator. I have my shoes. I have my dress.

I got a petticoat for my dress because I thought it might be fun. Now I think its probably too puffy - it is like the style of the early 1960s dresses with the petticoat I think.

So what say you MM - with or without petticoat?

Here is the dress:

I had to google what a petticoat was. I remember owning one as a child. I loved it! That said, I do not think you need one with this dress. It already has a good amount of puff to it!

I think I'd need to see pictures with the petticoat, but I'm leaning towards no. The skirt of the dress has a decent amount of volume without one.

FYI, I totally bought this dress after you posted it the first time.

I vote no petticoat

[kadams767]

I don't think you need a petticoat.

Also, are you sure your party is Saturday? The Derby is next Saturday, I think.

I'm always a fan of more poof! I wold go for it. You can wear this dress w/o poof anytime.

I wore a petticoat under my dress for the wedding from hell last weekend. I say go for it. Not a good picture but

100% positive. It's actually just a party with this as a theme.

But what about your Derby hat?

I'm wearing a fascinator because its for work and I don't want a big floppy hat with a wide brim because I need to be able to see.

Cute! Can you pip you in the dress with petticoat and without?

Hah, sooo much effort. Maybe tomorrow.

[LoveTrains]

H says he can't tell the difference!

[sicilygirl]

I say without. I loooove the dress! Can you link it? Have fun at your party!

ETA: I posted before I saw the pictures, but I think it looks good either way. I would probably go without though since I imagine it will be more comfortable.

Dang it! Great deal, though!!

Petticoat is not uncomfortable perse. Weather will be high of 58 on Saturday so I don't think I'll be too hot.

Now that I see the pictures, I vote with. It looks great!

[Deleted]

Definitely with!

[raangoli]

Wear the petticoat! You look fantastic!

[tine]

I love it with the petticoat!

[scout8]

Looks great either way, but I vote WITH.

Very cute!

[rikki]

Adorable

[Deleted]

Cute dress! It fits you really well too.

I think it looks good both ways so I'm no help. If it were me I'd probably go without, simply because comfort almost always wins and I would think it would be less comfortable to sit with it. But you can't go wrong either way. Have fun!

[Deleted]

After seeing the dress with it, I say with the petticoat. Super cute!

[Deleted]

I change my vote to with petticoat. You'll have to post pics of the full ensemble! It's adorable!

[heliocentric]

If it won't be annoying I'd wear it. I think it adds a little extra "oomph."

[dr.girlfriend]

Adorable! I vote with. And it shouldn't be uncomfortable with skimmies under it...

[rubytue]

Add me to the with votes! I love it. And I want a petticoat now.

[emilyinchile]

Another vote for with. Super cute!
