PLS HELLPP Crinoline was a popular linen material woven with horsehair. It was first used for cloth petticoats in the early 19th century. The word "crinoline" comes from the French words crin meaning horsehair and lin meaning linen. The full skirts with crinoline gave an illusion of extra width. In fact, as time progressed, the skirts became wider and appeared fuller. In 1856, metal cage crinoline was marketed in America, France, and Britain. It was the first fashion to be adopted by all classes in England and America. Working women did not care much about the cheap steel bands showing through the ridges of their skirts. Although the cage crinoline was awkward and caused damages to objects when women knocked them as they walked through, these remained popular for a long time. These skirts sometimes spanned over six feet and made walking through the doors challenging. Today, crinolines are usually a part of a formal outfit, such as an evening gown or a wedding dress. Instead of metal, the hoops are made of plastic or nylon. Modern crinolines are much more lightweight and flexible.

read this excerpt from “incidents in the life of a slave girl.”

i went about my evening work with trembling steps. mr. flint twice called from his chamber door to inquire why the house was not locked up. i replied that i had not done my work. "you have had time enough to do it," said he. "take care how you answer me! "

i shut all the windows, locked all the doors, and went up to the third story, to wait till midnight. how long those hours seemed, and how fervently i prayed that god would not forsake me in this hour of utmost need! i was about to risk everything on the throw of a die; and if i failed, o what would become of me and my poor children? they would be made to suffer for my fault.

at half past twelve i stole softly down stairs. i stopped on the second floor, thinking i heard a noise. i felt my way down into the parlor, and looked out of the window. the night was so intensely dark that i could see nothing. i raised the window very softly and jumped out. large drops of rain were falling, and the darkness bewildered me. i dropped on my knees, and breathed a short prayer to god for guidance and protection. i groped my way to the road, and rushed towards the town with almost lightning speed.
