You know you're a geek when someone says "blue box" and you automatically think Tardis instead of Tiffany's.
I would try Chivarly Sports they have a hoop skirt that is not that bad.
The web site is : www.renstore.com
Hope that helps a little.

How wide should the hoop be for propriety's sake? I'm new and I have a hoop, but I know there are many sizes.
Try ebay. You can usually get them cheaper there..

The size of hoop typically depends on what era you're trying to costume for.
Renaissance & Elizabethian ... big and hoopy should be fine.

And as for Wenches with Hoops ...
Marita Beth (wench & shopkeeper for several Pendragon Stores) can probably help you out through her own shop ... "A Wardrobe In Time". [email protected]
Nicole (not a wench, but wench friendly & wench approved *grin* - owner of Pendragon) can probably help you out, too. [email protected]
Good Luck!

Most bridal hoops-- which are the most popular ones-- are big and swingy and bell-shaped, which is more a Victorian thing. Elizabethan hoops, or farthingales, more correctly-- were cone-shaped and not terribly huge. They also had reinforcement running from waist to hem, which made them stronger for the heavy fabrics they had to support, but also stiffer.
Just something to keep in mind.
