Badcocks Crinoline Frame
1850's

Inside the skirt is a patch with two worked buttonholes, clearly for use if the existing buttonholes became worn. Nice idea.



 


Cataloguing

the waistband labelled Badcock's Patent Incomparable Washing Skirt, the cotton ground woven with a small repeat design, the lower skirt with five steel hoops, covered with a scarlet wool cover, 31 in; 79 cm drop at front.


Condition

Quite a lot of staining and needing a good wash! The red cover on the hem of the skirt has holes to very bottom where it has rubbed the ground. Good as an example.
