Making an 1860 cage crinoline for under 100 dollars!? costuming on a budjet

- In this video, I make a cage crinoline on a budget. The same methods can be used for the regular hoop wire that is actually meant for making these hoop skirts. this way of constructing a hoop allows you to easily sew the hoops onto the cotton tapes so that you need less tape to make the crinoline and the hoops stay in place with more volume at the back if that is wanted. Mine is slightly larger at the back requiring skirts to be 2" longer. this shape was most fashionable at the very last years or 1850s to the first year or two of the 60s, after that the hoops would have much more emphasis on the rear.

cotton tape at any local craft store or online
the flat cotton lacing cord I use is from here but any wide enough for the wire will work

The machinist in me is very impressed. You used the exact period correct steel! Genius! I have an electricians wire fishing tool and its the same steel. Its gun blued, heat treated, spring steel. Flexible and returns to its shape. The carbon coating of the blueing prevents rust. Just like they used! Very cool. I hope everyone else into this time period, or any one needing steel boning, finds this info. As far as the people saying "do it the right way" What did they do before their overpriced kit? Like the world didnt revolve before their kit was made? Lmao. Another great reason to have a vid like this up. Keep em coming! Loving this channel.
Thank you! And yes the funny thing is that most likely those modern "proper" kits have wire that has a modern treatment to it like plastic or other some such nonsense were as this actually has the historical treatment 😂 and well it's also funny to walk around in a hoop made of plumbing tools 😂😂😂
Loved the bit at the end where you showed it off from all angles. Lovely work. Also, the jumping was adorable.
Great job! Never let anyone tell you what you can do. Your solution to this is wonderful. Thank you for telling us how to think outside the " kit only box"
Thanks! Yeah I don't take no for an answer easily 🤣 so I figured this is knowledge that needs to be out there.
Hello from a new subscriber.
Just recently found u & so glad u did video on hoops. I too don't like being told I can't, and shame on those that try to discourage us. I've been looking for more economical way to make hoops but didn't think about the metal tape. I'll be visiting my hardware store soon.
You are incredibly talented, and your garments are beautiful. Thank u for sharing your knowledge with us🤗
🥰
I'm working on my own cage crinoline and I used narrow PVC pipes and ribbons with an attached slip to go over the hoops so they don't show. I had to use contact cement and duct tape and PVC connectors with the ends towards the back.
This was so magical! I just subscribed and can't wait to watch more of your content. The cage crinoline came out amazing! I'm so glad you were determined to prove those people wrong. 🥰
You are very talented I found your video on Instagram you are doing great work Masha Allah now I am watching your RUclips videos
So informative! Thank you.
Very creative!
You are sooooo amazing for this thank youuuuuu 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very cool! I love this idea!
I wonder if you've also seen Snappy Dragon's video on a corded petticoat which she made from lightweight foam cording (also probably from the home improvement store lol.) Now I'm thinking about combining the techniques to keep the weight down but for maximum shape! Like maybe one hoop just below the hips and one at the bottom and the rest cording...
Here's the Snappy Dragon vid

I think that would depend on the material used as the outer gown and amount and weight of the petticoats. Mine is cotton velvet so I need all the strength I can get lol but the corset holds the weight so it's not really an issue. But sounds like a cool experiment!
@@sewthroughtime That makes sense! I'm working on a ruched skirt. It has lots of volume already, with a fairly light fabric, but a lot of it. It would probably work with just a couple of starched petticoats but the layers add up weight-wise. I'll probably try one or two hoops at the bottom first and then experiment.
Found the video!!!
I'm very excited for this informative video! I have been searching a long time for alternatives that fit my student budget. If I may ask, what would be a good alternative to soldering the ends together? I've seen other people use electric tape to put them together... would that work as well?
I've seen it done too, I just wouldn't trust it to hold up very rough wear... But honestly my soldering iron (well technically my husband's) cost like 7 euros and it's been very useful for lots of costuming needs, both fixing things and making pretty burn designs on busks 😜
I was watching a tutu maker once and he said the kits come with little plastic joiners but that he also always kept the lids to ink pens to use... I'm not sure if you'd attach two lids together or cut open the closed end and then glue them inside? But the point is to do something to blunt the ends and hold it together I'd guess.
I always feel a bit sorry for people who say that the only way to do something is to do it “properly”. It must be miserable to have so little imagination and thereby cause things to be so much more expensive !
Yep I just hope the nay sayers don't keep others from doing the things they want!
Hope you see this. About what was the width of the wire?
It's whatever the width of the wire in the link is. If I remember correctly it's around 10mm
Thank you so much! Also I might have the wrong wire cutter. Which type did you use to cut the rods? Mine won’t cut through or I’m just not strong enough
@@christytoste4960 no clue 😅😂 I grabbed the first one I found from hubby's tool box! But I cut halfway and then switched sides rather than trying to cut all the way through in one go
I wonder if there has ever been a woman who hasn't jumped in her crinoline? Far too tempting however ladylike you are! Do you know what it cost you overall?
Haha probably not! Since I had all of the things already other than the plumbers rod it was technically only the price of that but I counted that if I had had none of the supplies it would have been about 70 to 100$ depending on were you get the the flat plumbers rod.
It's not just fun to jump in a crinoline, it's almost necessary for big dresses to make sure every part of the petticoats and skirts falls properly.
So beautiful! Ingenuity of the individual at its finest🪡
