Adding a Bigger Petticoat To An Already Amazing Dress

Hi all!! I have a dress question.
I am so utterly in love with Maggie Sottero's Abbie Lynette gown but...
I would love it to have it with a fuller bottom but still keep the train the length it is.
In the pictures from Maggie Sottero's site the model looks like she has a petticoat that resembles #2 (petticoat pictures included), which is nice but I want more drama and fullness
Then I found pictures of some ladies trying it on at a bridal show with hat looks like no petticoat. No offense to them, they are lovely ladies, but i really don't like the look of the dress that way.
The last dress I included is for reference of the amount of fullness I'd love to have in the Abbie Lynette gown. That looks like petticoat 9 would achieve that look. It accentuates her hourglass shape so much more I think.
So my question is should I buy the dress with the fuller petticoat even though I won't be able to try it on first? I can't find my size anywhere locally but I can try on something similar.
Have any of you purchased this dress and added a fuller petticoat? Even without it I'd love to see it.
Help lol! Thanks in advance!!!

    Honestly I don’t think petticoat 9 would fit under that dress.
    I think you need a more mermaid-shaped petticoat with more fullness at the bottom,

    Like so:

    Thanks Rosie! I saw the petticoat you sent. I looked at that one and I thought it was too low. I think I need something in-between the 9 I was thinking and the one you sent maybe?

    I would definitely do some sort of a petticoat to make that bottom layer more full.

    They can probably add crinoline underneath so you don’t need a petticoat. I wouldn’t wear one because it made me too hot so they added the crinoline and it made a hugeeee difference. If you want extreme dram ask for a second layer!

    Oooooh thanks Lauren, great idea! I'm going to see if I can find some examples to get a better idea what that would look like.

    Talk to the stylist in the bridal salon you are purchasing from. They’ll be able to advise on the best way to achieve a fuller skirt with that gown.
