[h-cost] Cage crinolines: wire/steel hoops and casings query

2006-02-04 Thread katherine sanders
Hello all I'm about to make my first crinoline, suitable for wearing with a smallish bustle underneath a late 1860s/early70s gown that I recently bought - it's in a bad way so I'm going to copy it as a pattern then try and restore it. Anyway, a lot of the original hoops that I've seen on museums
