This particular crinol...Thank you so much, Stacey!<br /><br />This particular crinoline was purchased new on ebay, I believe. It is made of a synthetic netting and is rather itchy if I do not wear stockings or a slip underneath, but it really is poofy so I put up with it. I have made my own that includes a cotton lining to prevent the scratch factor, but that one is not perfect either.<br /><br />I think a stiff netting is needed (tulle will be too soft) to create an extreme silhouette. If a less pronounced look is okay, sometimes simply building up a full cotton skirt with layers of ruffles can do the trick.<br /><br />I have not yet found the answer, but am going to keep looking!Laura Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288197213619181028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-74771974453393379492014-06-11T16:41:15.049-07:002014-06-11T16:41:15.049-07:00Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!

I think a regular waistline seam would make the design look like the torso was too short (and fat). This is such a flattering neckline. Beautiful, like all your garments.Pamela Bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04763103403654797426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-1183130140332063542014-06-11T10:14:05.933-07:002014-06-11T10:14:05.933-07:00A lovely dress.
