The
cage crinoline, the major fashion innovation for women in the1850s. During
Romantic period, women used to wear Layers of petticoat, sometimes they are use
up to six Layers of petticoat. The increasing width of womens skirts had led
to the use of more and more stiffened petticoat.
When
the hoop skirts of the 18th century were revived to hold out these voluminous
skirts, the editor of Petersons Magazine hailed its revival in September,
1859.This skirts look like a farthingale. But at this time women started
wearing farthingale again. The farthingale had changed, its name was called
crinoline. This was made out of still. A crinoline is a light still frame
work covered with fabric to distend a skirt.
