The one thing we all think of even if you dong reenact like the corp. and I, is the the big dresses so lets jump into this topic.
first what is a crinoline:
the google definition is :
- historicala stiffened or hooped petticoat worn to make a long skirt stand out.
- 2.a stiff fabric made of horsehair and cotton or linen thread, typically used for stiffening petticoats or as a lining.
the hoop skirt was made to make the hips look larger and the waist look smaller.
the first of the major problems of the skirt was it was unpractical for home life and a lady of the home.
coming from experience it is not easy to cook over fire in skirts so you can guess dresses were burned.
the second is the difficulty of them to walk in.
