Hi Kim! I have Addy's undies...and I love them! The hoop skirt is pretty stiff. She cannot sit in it...at least I've never been able to get mine too!

The petticoat isn't bright at all...it's dull...I love it...you can either pull it down a bit to show out the bottom of her dresses, or you can pull it up. I think it's a great set!

When I was in 4th grade I was in a musical, and I had to wear a hoop...I'll never forget it...it was so hard to sit in...or move for that matter!
