The Crinoline Skirt – A Victorian Fashion Trap

Andreas Hunæus (Danish, 1814 - 1886) • Princess Dagmar of Denmark with her dog • 1860s

A crinoline (/ˈkrɪn. əl. ɪn/) is a stiff or structured petticoat designed to hold out a skirt, popular at various times since the mid-19th century. Originally, crinoline described a stiff fabric made of horsehair ("crin") and cotton or linen which was used to make underskirts and as a dress lining. – Wikipedia

While the crinoline skirt was fashionable, it could also be very dangerous to wear. It is said that at least a few dozen women died in the mid-1800s because the widened skirts caught on things such as carriage wheels and machinery and also posed a fire hazard. A March 16, 1858 article from the New York Times described an incident where a woman's crinoline-widened skirts caught fire and she died. The same article discussed many such deaths occurring in London in the preceding months as well. The article went on to caution women about wearing such large skirts, because of the danger that they posed.

The crinoline hoop was pattened in April, 1856 by a Paris fashion designer.

There was much attention given to the crinoline by the media of its time, not only cautioning women about the dangers of this fashion contraption, but also ridiculing it through caricatures.

If I were Nasser I would be so embarrassed to even continue with this circus, but his persistency is admirable.

Every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demography. Rome is feminine. So is Odessa. London is a teenager, an urchin, and in this hasn’t changed since the time of Dickens. Paris, I believe, is a man in his twenties in love with an older woman.
