1863 Bending Crinoline Crinolines Frames Manufacture
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the mid-19th century and witness the intricate process of making crinolines, as captured in this photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image offers a rare glimpse into the world of historical costume production, providing a window into the meticulous craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating these iconic garments. Crinolines, large hoop skirts made of horsehair or steel boning, were a popular fashion accessory during the mid-1800s. Their voluminous silhouette was a symbol of femininity and elegance, and they were worn by women of all social classes. This photograph, taken in 1863, shows a skilled artisan in the midst of creating a crinoline frame. The woman is intently focused on her work, her hands deftly manipulating the delicate horsehair fibers as she weaves them into the intricate lattice-like structure. The crinoline frame, which is visible in the background, is a testament to the complexity of the production process. Each frame was custom-made to fit the individual wearer, ensuring a perfect fit and an elegant silhouette. The frames were typically made of wood or metal and covered with layers of fabric, which were then sewn onto the wearer's dress. The photograph also reveals the back view of the crinoline, offering a unique perspective on the intricate design and construction of these historical garments. The layers of horsehair, which are visible in the image, were carefully arranged and secured to create the desired shape and fullness. This photograph is a fascinating reminder of the rich history of costume production and the artistry and skill that went into creating the iconic crinolines of the 19th century. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of these historical garments and to marvel at the craftsmanship and dedication of the artisans who brought them to life.
