The predecessor to the petticoat, this hooped undergarment will accentuate the overall shape of your Renaissance gown. Can be used with or without the bum roll. The lightweight poly/cotton fabric contains 5 metal rings which will keep your overskirt in a beautiful umbrella shape. Some assembly required. Insert 5 adjustable inner bands for the "bone", which have a plastic quick-detach buckle so rings can be removed for washing. You can start at the top or the bottom. Poly/cotton blend, white.

Farthingale:
Farthingale is a term applied to any of several structures used under Western European women's clothing in the late 15th and 16th centuries to support the skirts into the desired shape.

Crinoline:
Crinoline was originally a stiff fabric with a weft of horse-hair and a warp of cotton or linen thread. The fabric first appeared around 1830, but by 1850 the word had come to mean a stiffened petticoat or rigid skirt-shaped structure of steel designed to support the skirts of a woman’s dress into the required shape. In form and function it is very similar to the earlier farthingale.
