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! :)
