Here are some more information for Crinoline Bridal:
Crinolines were created to give the desired dome-shaped skirt form that women aimed for in the early Victorian era. Layers of petticoats, usually six layers, satisfied this aim up to the 1840s when the crinoline appeared but a satisfactory patent didn't seem to appear until the mid 1850s when the cage crinoline was patented. A cage crinoline design was patented in 1856 and it seemed to be a natural development in womens -wear.
The heavy layers of petticoats, at least six layers, which were used to create the desired dome shape, could be replaced. The cage crinoline thus satisfied the aim for the popular dome shape. The cage crinoline effected other changes. Since women now didn't have to wear layers of petticoats, more concentration could be done on perfecting a dome shape and on perfecting also a suitable bodice. The overall aim of the 'crinoline' look was to give the desired 'full' shape of wide skirt, reduced waist and matching bodice. The overall aim was contrast between a tight fitted bodice and full skirt.
However, maybe another reason for the crinoline was that the layers of petticoats weren't sufficient to create the dome shape. Once a suitable patent was developed, it could be said that more effort could be given to developing better crinolines. Six layers of petticoats was a heavy weight and may have produced a corresponding heavy and inelegant look. There was no need to have layers of petticoats if a suitable structure was designed. This was the cage crinoline and it was designed to produce in a more simple and effective way the desired dome shape.
The origin of the term crinoline is interesting. The crinoline, as a structure, could be said to replace the crin or horsehair which was used previously to add important levels of girth to the skirt as well as to give height and breadth to the layers of petticoats. Crin was a functional fabric made of horsehair and cotton or linen fabric. A fabric similar to crin was used to also protect the body from the cage crinoline which could lead to rashes if it was allowed to press against the skin.
It is also interesting to note that the crinoline was not a completely new development and there are similarities between it and other structures such as the farthingale and pannier used in previous ages to give wide girth and breadth to the skirt.
It is interesting too to note the coordination and contrast between the top bodice and the crinoline itself; The aim as to contrast the wide dome-shaped shirt with a fitted bodice and thus to accent the waist line and the bust line. Shape was certainly important for the skirt. And if the Victorians were concerned with shape, then it is important to analyse this 'shape', the dome-shape from all sides; How is the dome actually shaped i.e the back, the front and the sides. Does the dome spread out at hip level or slightly above; Does it spread out over buttocks or does it fall instead from the waist line in a dome shape over the buttocks. The nature of the shape of the crinoline is important to consider for the future development of the crinoline and its place in Victorian dress.
Crinolines began to disappear in the 1860s. Bustles were the new structure used to give the desired shape and girth. Instead of creating a dome shape, the aim of the bustle was to create fullness at the back area around the buttocks rather than at the sides and in the front. Whalebone seemed to be one of the main materials used to create this form.
My Bridal Infantry
Do you remember the early Roman times when bridesmaids were more like a bridal infantry? They played the role of the bride’s soldiers. They chaperoned her to the groom’s village, guarding her against anybody who was against the marriage or who was after her dowry.
My bridesmaids are much like that. They are my fierce warriors, my faithful friends who were always there to stand up for me, to defend me. And now that it’s my wedding, there’s nobody else who befits the role of a bridesmaid more than these group of women who are modern in their civilized ways but primitive in their fierceness.
Are you curious already? You see, I am now 42 years old. And I am marrying a 27-year-old guy. And well, you can imagine what other people have to say about that. I suppose they are now calling me a DOM, a Dirty Old Matron. And did I mention that I am a millionaire too? As a matter of fact, it’s almost like I am actually giving away a dowry. Now you can imagine what they have to say about my poor fiancé.
If you would ask me, I don’t give a scruple what those nosy, dirty vixens have to say. It’s just that I feel for my husband-to-be. He’s a simple, good-natured man, and he’s not used to all these intrigue and drama. And he can’t stand all the attention. Also, he’s not getting the best of treatments from my family.
There was a time when I almost gave up on the idea of us getting married. The pain all this was giving him weighed down on me until it was almost too heavy. And then the ladies came to the rescue. Brought my spirits back. Always the reliable friends that they are.
It was funny how my friends, always cultured and refined, were suddenly uttering words of spite and hatred for those who just can’t leave us alone. And it was a major consolation that the whole set-up was readily accepted by my friends, without judgment, without prejudice.
Come to think of it, there is really nothing wrong with the set-up. Forty-two years of age is not all that old. Like they say, life starts at 40. And besides, the two of us are madly in love and we truly deserve to be happy. And we can’t just throw away what we have just to please those good-for-nothing shrews.
Anyway, I plan to give nothing but the best to my beloved female warriors on my wedding day. I already shopped for some wonderfully exquisite bridesmaids gifts. And now I am unto their precious dresses. They have to look debonair and dashing on my special day.
Anyway, I found this wonderful collection of Bridesmaids Gowns - Tulipia. They are perfect for my soldiers. The rich shades and striking prints and cuts exude a quintessential mix of femininity and fierceness.
I am down to three choices. First in the list is Tulipia - 23. Its delicate and graceful pattern yet bold and daring cut is a perfect embodiment of my lady friends.
I also particularly like the Tulipia - Cleopatra. My friends are not much unlike Queen Cleopatra herself, strong-willed and ready to stand up against her opponents. The dress, in its exquisiteness and elegance, effectively communicates this fact.
And there’s the Tulipia - Flirt. The dress makes such a presence that any hellcat will think twice before making a false move. With its unique accents and eclectic mix of fabrics, this is definitely not your ordinary dress.
Now I am down to the task of making the final choice. But well, this is one problem I enjoy solving.

Where can you buy a crinoline/slip cheap?
I know they sell them at David's Bridal - how much are they there? And is that about the cheapest I will find? What other stores could I try?
I don't want to buy online because I already have my dress and want to try on the crinoline with the dress before buying it.
Thanks!
I would try on different styles of crinolines with your dress and then go buy it on ebay. You won't find them any cheaper there and usually the vendors are pretty good about giving descriptions. If you have questions one how far it flairs out, measurements,etc. that aren't in the description, email them. They are usually glad to help out anyway they can.
