You guys. This submission baffles me. I need to know more about this hoop. Is it flexible? After multiple productions of "A Christmas Carol" as well as simply being Southern, I can inform you that a hoop skirt is not and will never be an ideal travel garment. And do I need remind you of the episode of 90210 where Donna wore a big hoop dress to the dance that Steve begrudgingly took her to (not the "Donna Martin graduates" mermaid prom dress with crucifix). Steve was pissed off the whole night, possibly because of the inconvenience of the hoop but also possibly because Kelly asked Brandon to the dance and it was his birthday, everyone forgot and he was adopted. But the hoop didn't help.
Please explain how one would sit for travel in this. She is clearly in Port Authority, thus getting ready to ensure bus travel. I think the leggings are a key piece of this puzzle. I'm betting she pulls the hoop to waist height and then tilts it, so it's high in the back and resting over her knees int the front this necessitating leggings --- please don't flash us.
