Can you spot Kaitlin as she does some interior work on her skirt?

Even though the style was probably uncomfortable to wear, these are absolutely beautiful examples of an extremely feminine fashion. Bravo! It's impossible to pick a favorite.

I once fit both my friend who is on the short side and a folding bicycle under a Civil War era hoop skirt! Great moments in costuming.
