The skirts were ankle length and the hoops were more crinolines with flexible hoops sewn in -- and not as wide as the long ones. They were hard to keep down; hard to sit in. The ladies of the 18th and 19th centuries grew up with them so learned early how to handle them-- saw their mothers and older women wearing them -- women who could advise about the proper way to walk, sit, and move. <br /><br />I wonder if the resurgence of the longer hoops in the late 30's had any connection to the filming of Gone with the Wind?
