Starching all the crinoline and the net petticoats got to be too much so my mother found some that had layers of crinoline, which was much nicer than scratchy netting, so I only had to wear about 4 of them and didn't have to sorry about starch again. What we put ourselves through back when just to be in style! LOL Sandi
