Renee, is a crinoline slip better to wear under say an Ann Bolyn garb?
Those hoops a real you know what to undo the metal and redo them?
I like that crinoline look! Full but not overly..

Lady Catharine, I am not the one to ask about anything historically accurate, since everything I own is not accurate at all.  I just wear what I like!

But I do like wearing a hoop skirt, or farthingale.  Because it is cooler than a crinoline, as the hoops hold the fabric out away from your body.  IBut the crinoline is easier to use the privvies.  With the hoop, it's the handicap stall or nothing.  For me, it depends on what I'm wearing.  I prefer wearing the hoop with noble garb & my red Irish dress, but for peasant, pirate, & wench, I don't wear it.

Lady C.  A corded petticoat is much more comfortable to wear than a crinoline.  It has the benefit of the hoop to keep air flowing under the skirts, but the flow of multi petticoats without the weight.

If it's a hundred or so degrees, definitely too hot in a crinoline, hoop skirt would be a little cooler.  But at those temps, not much.

When it's brutal at Bristol in the summer, I go peasant.  I bought 2 reversible cotton bodices on Ebay, no boning, nothing, in a size larger than I usually wear.  Just to be able to breathe.  I wear a plain skirt with my bloomers under it and a short sleeve chemise.  Much cooler.
