Item Information

Title:
De l'utilité de la crinoline pour frauder l'octroi.
Title (alt.):
Charivari. Usefulness of a crinoline to cheat the tax collector.
Description:
A woman has placed a variety of things under her skirt in order to avoid paying the tax collector. 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.
