First off this seller is AMAZING! My package was placed in the wrong mailbox (USPS fault) and I was afraid the wrongful recipient kept my item. I contacted the seller who responded super fast, and even though it was not their fault, they offered to send me a new petticoat free of charge! Luckily, the wrongful recipient decided to leave my package at my doorstep...a week later...however, the seller already shipped another. I informed them that I did receive my package after all and they informed me that is was OK to still keep the second petticoat that was shipped!! They were so awesome! As for the hoop petticoat, it is exactly what I needed. I immediately put it on my daughter to see how it looked under her pageant dress and it gave it the "Scarlett O'Hara" poof I wanted. The length only went to above her ankles, but it still does the job perfectly. There is a tie at the waist so it gives room to grow or make as small as needed.Great!I bought the 19" for my 7 year old daughter and it fits perfect. It is made very well and the hoops can be pushed in to make it thinner if needed but we used it just the way it was because the size of the hoops are perfect. It can also be folded (twisted) so it will fit in the bottom of the dress bag (folds to about 12"). It also arrived very quickly and the part that goes around the waist can go a lot smaller than it says it can and also a lot larger. My daughter is 52" tall and weighs 52" so she is very tall and very thin but we will be able to use this for a long time since the waist is so adjustable.The metal hoops inside sliced my hand open. Thankfully it did not need stitches, but the metal was as sharp as a razor blade. The fault is mine alone however, as i bent the hoops when trying to place it into a box for storage. It fits beautifully, and after securing the edges, my daughter loves the look it provides with a ball gown.My daughter loves to make her dress full so I bought this one for her. Very pleased with the quality. The fabric is rather thick, not flimsy at all. The hoops are light weight, flexes well and are sewed in securely. When taking it out of the package I didn't pay attention how it was folded and now I can't make it small again for storage. To solve the problem, I place a hook on the back wall of the closet and flatten this hoop dress on the floor, pick up the 3 rings together to hang on the hook. Saves space.It was too big when it arrived. Saved it for a few years but never needed it again.My daughter dressed as Rose from the Titanic for halloween and she wanted a HUGE dress. Well this did it. It was a little big at the waist (she is 9) and I had to tie it up near her armpits because it was long but the dress looked awesome. It was so full and beautiful.. everyone kept stopping her to say how nice her dress was. I went to a lot of stores and they were all way more money than this and this worked out great and is good quality and she uses it to dress up with her friends too.Hoops are made of quality material. You will need to put in an elastic as it only comes with a string. Held up great being transported into a suitcase. Made the dress stand out as expected even though it came to small, even after ordering correct size from chart
