I’ve developed a sort of 50’s obsession with full skirts. I think it’s from looking at too many of Ranna’s outfit photos. When she revealed that her secret to a super poofy skirt was a crinoline, I began the hunt for my own. I bought this green tulle version from Hollywood at Casablanca Vintage. I also bought a non-tulle, but layered and ruffled, underskirt at a Cappel’s. I much prefer the look of the tulle. Beware, though, of sitting at your desk in a tulle skirt all day. Without a slip between the stiff fabric and your skin, it is a bit painful.
