At present, I'm not sure this page is as informative as it could be. I'm going to have a go at doing something better, starting off with a short article. (My first article for the Wikipedia! Ooo, how exciting!) Katherine Shaw 11:25, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)

OK, well, I've started, and there was more faffing than I liked, but it's there, and I don't think it's that bad (for a first effort). I hope to expand the article soon, including some information on the history of the crinoline and the various forms it's taken. I also have some references to add.Katherine Shaw 12:00, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)

I suspect that the "plastic" hoops used in modern wedding gowns etc. are actually nylon - the lightweight hooping I am familiar with is nylon. I added nylon as an alternative to plastic rather than removing plastic. Also added various links. PKM 1 July 2005 23:31 (UTC)

[edit] Edit war

Previous edit was a shot in an edit war, when consensus hasn't been reached. Please cease and desist until the community reaches consensus. The Editrix 12:18, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

You're the one who's unilaterally trying to impose her strange categorizations on Wikipedia, without even having the common decency to offer the remainder of us peons on Wikipedia one single shred of meaningful explanation. The fact that you've been silent on your user talk page for three days now (while very actively editing on Wikipedia all the while), indicates that you have no meaningful explanation to offer -- and that being the case, I feel no hesitancy in reverting to the categories that were there before you started unilaterally imposing your individual agenda. Frankly, your high-and-mighty accusations of "edit-warring" don't go very well together with your refusal to offer any meaningful explanation for your uncooperative unilateral actions (which others have called into question as well as my self).Churchh 13:08, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mini Crini

On the Crinoline Today; could someone write about Vivienne Westwoods Mini Crini Collection?

[edit] Item of rock and roll fashion?

Should there be a mention somewhere in this article about the garment's popularity with girls in the 1950s rock and roll scene? (And even today by people into that scene?) Or is that technically called something different?
