Crinoline dress

Period: 1850

This dress was crafted from violet silk. Only a few years back flounces were mainly applied to underskirts. With time passing this trend moved from under to overskirts, and resulted generally in more flounces.
Under the dress are corset and hoop skirt.

Due to the plain design attention is drawn to the collar, which was crafted from precious antique lace. It is ornamented with an antique gem.
