Bo Persson points to a pretty bouffant dress on singer Susan Maughan

Ed N.:

For what it's worth...Just though I'd throw out some trivia for whomever might be interested. I for one was not familiar with the term 'polonaise' (19 Mar) as used to refer to women's attire, but had only hear the term used to describe a musical composition.
(a Polish dance). So I immediately did an Internet search and turned up this.

And the posted example on PP is a sweet example. I'd be happy to dance with that anytime!

Kristi:

"Here’s a link to a video that has a few bits of a girl in a really nice pink gown, but the music is so much more, the whole video. 
All I can say is search for a translation of this song, it is really moving.  At least for me.  I hope you like it.”

...and Ed N. points out this website that "may be of interest to some."

"What is a petticoat?"

Today, we present something which may not be of interest to non-CDer petti-buffs, but is of such a quality that,
Tessy could not bring her self not to post it.

Just Like a Woman  (1992)

Crinolyn points to this funny movie (with some tender moments) about an interesting CDer, which is now available in its entirety here. 
Also, here is a good clip, featuring her confession, to give one a taste.

Dan H. points to this great video

Tessy comments: "What a wonderful video! It is refreshing to see HUMAN expressions on the models' faces for a change,
and the little dancing walk-steps are a welcome departure from the norm."

STILLS FROM THE  1963 FILM

John N:

"One eBay seller, selling a crinnie, added her thoughts about the crinnie - thought you might be interested in her point of view:"
 
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS SLIP

There is no piece of clothing more fun than a crinoline. It is a totally unnecessary piece of clothing. It's whole purpose is to show off a great skirt to its fullest advantage. It creates a stir of movement everywhere you go. It is one of the few things I can think of that is charming to have in your way. It is like wearing a cloud. I cannot stop running my arms through the skirt to feel the fullness. You feel yourself moving in ways you never dreamed of before. The experience of wearing one is something you do not forget. It defines the
shape of your dress and the shape of your femininity.
