I wanted to wear a 1950's style outfit for a wedding I was attending. I actually purchased the crinoline before the dress and jacket I planned to wear were made.

Unfortunately, the dress did not fit as I had hoped but after some rethinking, the dress became a skirt and with the right accessories -- THE CRINOLINE BEING THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE -- I had the 1950's outfit I wanted.
The crinoline really brought back such comforting memories of my childhood, when ladies actually dressed up to go out and the "poofier" your skirt was the better it looked.

I love this crinoline and I'm trying to think of ways to incorporate it into my daily wardrobe and not just wear it for special occasions.
