Crinoline, also known as horsehair fabric, is a net-like material that is durable, easily shaped, and often used in decorating clothing, hats, and accessories. It was originally used in 16th century Europe in upper-class fashion, often to support the elaborate gowns worn on a daily basis. In modern society, it is most commonly found in accessory embellishment, bridal gowns, fascinators, millinery, dancing dresses, costumes, and other luxurious attire.
