I&#39;m impressed. <br /><br />Amanda, I believe the crinoline is only available online. But if you wear knee-length skirts, I&#39;d probably discourage you from ordering it. Anthro has quite a few mini full skirts for sale now,in the 14-19&quot; length range (!). Not my cup of tea, but perhaps the crinoline is meant to go with something that length?<br /><br />I had an idea to make a crinoline using strips of cotton organdy or silk organza(perhaps starched) to make a crinoline, rather than tulle. It would be an easy addition to the slip tutorial I did. Hmm, that gives me some ideas. Stay tuned!Gertiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04314542159287533507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-79736800453380643552009-08-15T15:12:11.608-04:002009-08-15T15:12:11.608-04:00I adore this dress. I know you thought it was a bit bare but I didn&#39;t see any hint of any bits peaking out. <br /><br />Its perfect with the jacket. I agree with everyone, the top looks like a scarf and makes it very put together. Well done!<br /><br />Your issue with the Anthropologie Crinilin (sp?) is the reason I didn&#39;t order it (yet). Like ever slip I seem to buy everything is either a wee short or a wee long...nothing is *just* right.<br /><br />But, with that said, I think it looks great!jenna!http://www.blogger.com/profile/16754411566357685542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-75692140828245617222009-08-15T13:58:05.086-04:002009-08-15T13:58:05.086-04:00I agree that it looks terrific with the jacket - what luck you had such a nice piece in your wardrobe already! And yes, your crinoline needs to be longer, but not so long it shows either. I love the idea of a yellow crinoline!!Shrinky Inkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08329678310053301448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-25365682686772872652009-08-15T12:47:20.915-04:002009-08-15T12:47:20.915-04:00I didn&#39;t think about this before, but what about a coordinating knit tube top under the dress that would really only be seen from the back. However, if it matches the dots would look pretty cool if you ask me and would make you feel better. Or you could go and construct a pink bustier top with a sweetheart neckline to wear under the dress.lsaspaceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17058968076601943527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-57182066641014059912009-08-15T12:09:29.674-04:002009-08-15T12:09:29.674-04:00I really like it with the jacket.

Are they offering it only online? 19 inches is a bit short. I hadn&#39;t noticed that--thanks for the heads up!Amandahttp://www.northfred.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-72546191374700372422009-08-15T08:16:58.324-04:002009-08-15T08:16:58.324-04:00super cute!elizabethenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-26432972805897030132009-08-15T02:44:45.844-04:002009-08-15T02:44:45.844-04:00Very pretty!Annahttp://www.twitter.com/annakaffekannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-53461357962083210222009-08-15T02:35:47.415-04:002009-08-15T02:35:47.415-04:00I agree. It does look like a little scarf peeking out. You look very put together. Professional, but yet still very feminine. What a perfect idea. I think that&#39;s an excellent idea for all summer dresses when it&#39;s no longer summer or when you need a little more coverage, like at work.Trudy Callanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11649677045881448393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-7406402006986663042009-08-15T01:45:18.008-04:002009-08-15T01:45:18.008-04:00This is a great idea. The halter top makes it look like you have a little scarf peeking out of your blazer -- very soigne.catherine_sr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06759711296632260503noreply@blogger.com
