Item Information

Title:
Danger de porter des jupons-ballons à l'époque des coups de vent de l'équinoxe.
Title (alt.):
The danger of wearing hoopskirts during springtime's gusts of wind.. Charivari
Description:
A woman is carried off in the wind as her husband tries to hold her down. CRINOLINES. In 1855 the first crinolines appeared on the streets of Paris. This new fashion was to remain “in” for more than 10 years. Maybe Ramus described the situation best: "The fashion designer Worth created for his female clients hoop skirts which over the years constantly increased in size. He was obviously following the trend of the period by creating crinolines which were quite extraordinary in size, of no practical use...and they fitted perfectly into this period of extravagance and exuberance of the second Empire."
