text: I am **SO** DISAPPOINTED!!! I bought this to go under my civil war era costume and it is freaking tea-length!!! The bottom hoop is supposed to be no more than 1 inch above the ground! This is closer to 18 inches above the ground so the skirt bells out then drops like a wall!! COMPLETELY RUINS THE LINE OF THE SKIRT!!!! I was also hoping to wear it under my wedding dress that needs a little oomph to it, but no. This one is being returned as completely useless!
