Hooped foundations
Throughout
history different fashions have dictated different types of petticoats to
support the fashionable shape of the skirts.
The renaissance Spanish farthingale.
The 18th century grand panier
and the smaller pocket hoops.
The round, bell shaped crinoline of the 19th century,
the elliptical crinoline,
bustle and train support
and the bustle petticoat, the que d’ecrevisse (lobster tail), images to follow.
All items available from my Etsy shop , some from stock, some by special order.
