Crinoline manufacturers these days should really take it upon themselves to study mid-century ads and examples like those shown here and produce more styles that are directly inspired (if not flat out copied) from such. I'm sure many of us in the vintage/pinup/rockabilly world would flock to purchase them, if they did (especially if they were reasonably priced).<br /><br />Big hugs & many thanks for your lovely comment,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-90393584494028323912016-07-11T23:02:57.531-07:002016-07-11T23:02:57.531-07:00Yes, let's!

Of course I now have two new ones and they're an inch shorter, so no peeking there as they're the exact length of most of my Lindy Bop dresses.<br /><br />I wish they would do fancy ones, not just block coloured ones though xxxMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238571735302117986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-46754647811300592252016-07-06T02:03:05.517-07:002016-07-06T02:03:05.517-07:00Don't worry for a moment, dear Lauren.

Honestly, between the two, I'd rather have a wee bit of crinoline poking out than to have the last couple - few inches of my garment hanging there like a limp lettuce leaf. I'm sure, especially in my early days of sporting vintage, that I had it happen a few times, but I do really, really try to avoid it and will often go crini-less over sporting that undesirable overhang effect.<br /><br />You really do have a fabulous crinoline collection and I always adore seeing what you share with us on that front.<br /><br />Many hugs & thanks for your great comment,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-39070881993566525782016-07-06T01:54:54.229-07:002016-07-06T01:54:54.229-07:00That's a really, really fantastic idea.

I really like wearing lace in general and enjoy that these garments let me weave a bit more into any outfit. It's fantastic that you've added lace to the hems of some of yours. Your beautiful style sounds superbly suited to such. (If you're a big fan of layers, have you looked into the Mori Girl - and related, Dark Mori - style from Japan? Both utilize layers quite extensively.)<br /><br />You're very welcome, my sweet friend.
