Cage crinoline balldresses from 1850´s and 1860's

Crinoline was used between 1830-1870 and the cage crinoline was patented in 1858. In the 1850's and 1860's the skirt was biggest than ever in the 19th century. This video presents those balldresses/-gowns through different fashion plates, photographs, drawings and paintings. The video is over 6 minutes long, but for enthusiastic fan of Victorian fashion it is not a long time at all.
Music is called Frühlingsstimmen-Walzer (or in English Voices of Spring) by Johan Strauss II, performed by Vienna's Operaorchestra. Now I apologize there is one contradiction with pictures and the music: pictures are from 1850's and 1860's, but the music is composed in 1882... well, at least the music gives the right ball mood! :)

thanks for your help. I did wear my dress and got compliments anyway, but now that I know better, I will make my next dress with satin or tulle!

Huge dresses were so complimentary to the aristocracy, especially the pampered southern belles of the Cotton Plantation South. Rebelicious!!

would it be acceptable to make a ball gown for this era using upholstery fabric?

What kind of upholstery fabric do you have? If its thick, I do not recommend to use it as balldress. At that time especially silk, satin and tulle were popular in balldresses. Woman should have been a fragile lily: especially young unmarried woman. Some balldresses themselves were made of so fragile fabrics that they could have been used only once. For older women thicker facric were suitable. Of course anyone could use any fabrics, but it it a different thing is it fashionable :)
