Today we discuss one of the most deadliest fashion fads in history: the Victorian Crinoline Skirts (aka hoop skirts). These were made to spread the dresses away from the body & could reach up tp 6ft in circumference! They also had a propensity to get caught on a lot of things; let alone cause many, many accidents and deaths. This one is a bit longer than usual, but there's a lot of information and a LOT of craziness!!
