Crinoline Petticoats

Retrun To Fashion Articles

Crinoline petticoats were all the rage during the early 1830s. Crinoline is a linen material that's woven together using horsehair. When referring to petticoats, "crinoline" is the universally accepted term for a hooped underskirt frame.

Petticoats give shape and body to skirts, and they help to show off a woman's figure. In years past, women celebrated their curves and accentuated their femininity by wearing bouncy skirts with as many as six different petticoats underneath. Today, petticoats are worn for fun and fashion, and they're gaining in popularity thanks to innovative lingerie designers and private societies dedicated to the preservation of this classic feminine look.

Finding petticoats isn't as easy as you might think. Many lingerie stores simply don't stock these items because they don't sell as well as thongs and sexy nightgowns. GreatLookz.com is one of the best resources around for petticoats with classic features and a modern twist.
