There were several cases in victorian era where the crinoline was guilty. Working-class women hid strange and sometimes ridiculous things under theirs huge crinoline dresses, taking advantage of the fact that no one dares to check what lady has under her skirt.
.
What did they stole and hide under their skirts? Here are the most interesting things:
- “not fewer than 12 partridges”
- 25 pounds of cotton
- 1 stowaway on the train (or one little girl)
- 60 pairs of gloves
- half a gallon of Holland gin
- 9pounds of foreign manufactured tobacco
- a quarter of a pound of tea
.
Well... I’d tried to repeat after that ladies, but all I found was a rocking horse and it was too heavy to hold it under the crinoline=)
