Introducing our very first Do It Yourself hoop kit.

The Charlotte Hoop Kit contains everything you need to make a beautiful hooped petticoat.

Charlotte - Hoop in a Box is a whimsical cage foundation suspended from a waistband that ties with a satin ribbon at the waist. Its full tulle skirt, finished with a delicate lace trim, adds an extra touch of charm. Designed to be both pretty and practical, this hoop petticoat can be worn under a gown or even as an outer garment for a fun and flirty look.

Create your own Charlotte Hoop by first assembling the paper templates, following the simple step by step instructions to cutting out the tulle skirt tape lengths. Moving forward to stitching your hoop casings, bone cutting, & assembling the hoop.  Complete the process by sewing on a beautiful lace trim resulting in a beautifully constructed hoop.

Sizes: 0-2, 3-5, 6-7

Colours: White, Black, Natural, Dusty Pink
