Crinoline (Crin)

Crinoline fabric is a stiff, open-weave fabric that is often used for making petticoats, underskirts, and other types of structured garments. It has a slightly rough texture and a crisp hand feel.

The fabric is characterized by a distinct grid pattern that is created by the open weave of the fabric. The grid is made up of small, rectangular holes that are evenly spaced and run vertically and horizontally across the fabric.

Crinoline fabric comes in a range of colors, including black and skin, but is often white, off white or ivory, which are popular colors for bridal wear.

When used as an underlayer in garments, crinoline fabric adds structure and volume, helping to create a full, bell-shaped silhouette. It can also be used as a decorative overlay for skirts, dresses, and other garments, adding texture and interest to the design.
