I was looking up hoops before I left work and that would probably be the best-case scenario to get SUPER POOFAGE that doesn't flatten under the weight of the skirt lol. But also a pain cuz all the ones I saw you would have to modify in some way to either get the cupcake effect (most of them were one or two hoops more triangular in shape than rounded) or not have visible hoop lines (grrr pet peeve). I don't recall what her petticoat looked like but a lot of tulle and a lot of patience (and probably some booze) should do ;)

GAH so true. Sadly I like having a roof over my head esp on a day like today when it's -35 out :( SOOOOOOOOOOO done with winter.
