It is quite stiff (I believe it was categorized as "mid-weight" on the bolt, but it feels more sturdy than my definition of that word). A heavier hair canvas would also work, although it might get itchy if not lined with something. Basically anything that stands up by itself will work!Laura Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288197213619181028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-13541178283300621482014-07-24T00:48:35.807-07:002014-07-24T00:48:35.807-07:00I am embarrassed to say that I don’t actually know...I am embarrassed to say that I don’t actually know the formal answer to that question. <br /><br />Crinoline can actually refer to a stiff material used to make a petticoat. And cage crinoline refers to what I think of as a hoop skirt from the Victorian era (to help relieve the weight of wearing layer upon layer of underskirts made out of crinoline in previous years). <br /><br />A petticoat was not originally used exclusively as an undergarment (think 1700s), although it was a separate skirt garment, which then morphed into underwear in the 19th century. But vintage Victorian and Edwardian petticoats were certainly worn as outwear in the 1970s.<br /><br />These days, I would say the two terms are interchangeable for a separate underskirt made to exaggerate a silhouette. Or it can refer to a specific textile.<br /><br />How is that for a convoluted answer!?<br />Laura Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288197213619181028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-64642715376864796902014-07-23T05:48:19.769-07:002014-07-23T05:48:19.769-07:00Is a crinoline sewn in and a petticoat worn undern...Is a crinoline sewn in and a petticoat worn underneath?

I am making a party dress (own pattern) myself, and I was planning to do something similar with my lining - glad you posted this, I think the idea of cutting the same pieces as the skirt, but shorter, is great, and I'll incorporate it in my design.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03123921802204398237noreply@blogger.com
