It looks like this is all 18th century stuff, and so I am inrigued to see a crinoline of that shape! I am at the moment making my first 18th century robe, and when doing research, I have found many pictures that indicate a more round, dome-shape skirt, but nothing anyware about anything but the oblong paniers. Have you found resources that indicate that this type of crinoline was used, or is it your personal interpretation of how i t might have been?
The clothes all look gorgeous, by the way. Do you have a picture with them on?

It isn't a crinoline, it is a pair of panniers. The shape changed a lot and went from rounder to more oval and back. A good overview can be found here (check out all the pictures, not just the first):

I have seen that page, it was helpful when I made my pocket hoops, and it was also there I got inspiration of searching for alternative shapes of paniers. However I have hardly found any sources or images so, it was exciting and encouraging to see this picture.

Ok, you're not the only one suggesting that these dresses were made by me, it's my fault, I'm not at all clear that I saw these dresses in an exhibition devoted to 18th century, so I guess this crinoline is right...
By the way, when I saw this dress, I was really impressed, there was very beautiful!
