Contentious Crinolines

Richardson-Bates House Museum 135 East Third Street, Oswego, NY, United States

Now on display at the Richardson-Bates House Museum! Popularized in the 1850s, the crinoline—or the hoop skirt—was an alternative to wearing the many layers of petticoats necessary to attain the desired dress silhouette of the era. While crinolines solved problems related to dress, it also created new ones.
