Crinoline

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a cream-colored crinoline by an unknown artist titled "Crinoline". The garment is displayed on a mannequin, shown from the waist down. The garment has a fitted waistband with a small bow at the front center. Multiple layers of thin, light-colored metal wires are sewn to a fabric backing, forming a cage-like structure that extends down to the knees. The wires are spaced evenly apart and are attached to the fabric with small rivets. The background is solid black.
