Where do I find petticoats?
I live in Texas and plan on wearing a ballgown for my prom this upcoming year but I'm not sure where i could find a petticoat/full slip. i found one online but i would prefer to try it on with the dress before i buy it. does anyone have any suggestions on where i could find one in the Laredo, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Dallas, and Fort Worth areas? I have family in those areas and don't want to travel too far.

Any place that sells wedding gowns will have the petticoat you are looking for. I would try a wedding gown wholesale place or you may wind up paying alot. But I think that will be your best bet on finding one.

I would have one custom made they way you want it.

ANY bridal store. You don't have to travel far for this one. Have fun!

you can have one made if you go to certain dress stores. if you ask they should only be about 60$. try looking for a dress that has one built in. then wear a flat slip. that might be easier than finding a petticoat. i had my mom make one for a dress tha ti wore for a reinactment. even you can make one. go to a craft store or a joanne fabrics and get a pattern. get some cloth and fire up a sewing machine!

You could but a pattern. Butterick has petticoat patterns. Wal-Mart may have it. Look in the costume section. Choose the fabric you like. This could be better than buying off the rack, since Texas is pretty warm. Any seamstress can make it & hem it to the length you desire.
