Although they were conceived purely as mechanisms to achieve an aesthetic effect, crinolettes also responded to practical considerations. Pieces like the white tiered and webbed wire examples here could collapse like accordions. Some, like the Lobster-Pot crinolette, were designed, like winter petticoats of the period, to keep the wearer warm. This example was constructed of medium-weight wool and sports a button-on hem ruffle.. Bustle 82422
