[h-cost] hoops for crinoline dresses

can anyone give us advice on where we can get hooping material for crinoline dresses. Are they made of plastic or is it cloth covered wire and could anyone tell us where to get the appropriate materials please? I'm fond of www.Greenberg-Hammer.com Look for hoop wire in the boning section. --cin
