New silhouette, would you wear this? What do we think?

I think we are all out of practice sitting in crinolines, and what restaurant chair would accommodate the poofiness. If you have worn crinolines, I want to hear how you manage it.

It already has presence, the goods can be light and (okay, I gotta say it...) pouf-y. j. -- Edited on 9/4/12 6:05 PM --

I am crinoline deprived, even my prom and homecoming gowns weren't as full as this. Ohhh J- Which LaCroix do you have? ------ "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” Coco Chanel Stash Sewn in 2011 148.5 Yds Stash Sewn in 2012.... counting... http://adonising.blogspot.com

Only the one in my head but, Loti, I totally thank you for presuming that I have that kind of stature (in both means and morphology...) j. -- Edited on 9/4/12 6:10 PM --

Date: 9/4/12 6:35 PM Can I add another question to the original post: What do we think the AGE CUT OFF for this style is? I mean, I'm 112 years old; could I get away with it at a Holiday party? This post now has me itching to sew a crinoline. My first, incidentally, since I was 4. This style didn't catch on as well as it should have in Flatbush. j. -- Edited on 9/4/12 9:26 PM --

Don't know how old you are, but I do seem to remember you said you were shorter...you would need to tone down the crinoline a bit so as not to be overwhelmed by it. And unless you have elephant wrinkles, you should look fine in it.

I agree it does need to be just a little longer. Here are some old LaCroix's. Compared with these the red dress is tame. ------ "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” Coco Chanel Stash Sewn in 2011 148.5 Yds Stash Sewn in 2012.... counting... http://adonising.blogspot.com

You haven't lived until you have tried to squeeze on of those babies into a tiny bathroom stall. Have to say that any reference to La Croix reminds me of Absolutely Fabulous and makes me giggle. ------ http://bgballroom.wordpress.com to follow the progress on my next ballgown.
