The crinoline was wider than I expected, but we were able to adjust it enough to fit under my wedding dress. We moved the ties down to where the first hoop is supposed to go, and moved the hoops down, leaving the last hoop out. After we adjusted the hoop sizes to where we wanted them, we used wire snips to cut off the excess. I am very pleased with this product, the quality is good, and can be adjusted easily. I would absolutely buy it again.
