RE: Push-Up: Another Laumer Plan Restoration
Wikipedia:
The name 'crinoline' was invented by one of the fabric's manufacturers, who combined the Latin words crinis (meaning hair) and linum (meaning flax). An alternative origin for the word is sometimes given: the combination of the French words crin (specifically meaning horse-hair) and lin (again, meaning flax).
Also worn by either Simon or Garfunkel, I can't remember which one sang it:
What a dream I had
Pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline
Of smoky burgundy
Softer than the rain
Ah, the sixties.
