    I had to wear crinolines for dancing when I was younger. Anyone who’s done square dancing, folk dancing, Scottish, Irish, etc… dancing has had to wear these things. The stiff mesh fabric can be very itchy, so I recommend a cotton slip first to protect your poor skin from the mesh, then your crinoline.
    You dress is so cute!! ❤

      Wearing crinolines growing up our Mom always had us wear a cotton slip under it. I'm sure she did it for our comfort but also to keep us from wiggling to much. When we square danced with our kids I used Mom's trick too. Also used pettipants under square dance dresses and skirts

      Thegreenmanofnorwich, that's so funny! I know the same trait. There was a cartoon strip called "Peanuts" in which there was a character named "Pigpen" who would come out of his house cleaned up and well groomed, wearing spiffy clean clothes. Within each following frame, everything went awry, became crooked, and he accrued splotches of dirt, his hair a mess. THAT'S the picture!

In times past, you could buy a dress that was pretty for not much money, made in the US garment workers union, or buy the fabric and make it yourself. Now there is mostly clothing made who knows where overseas, and of poor quality, and there are hardly any fabric stores anymore.
