Crinoline Fabrics

Structured, lightweight and designed for support—our crinoline fabrics are used to add shape, volume and reinforcement to garments. Traditionally made using horsehair and natural fibres, modern crinoline is often produced from synthetic materials while maintaining the same purpose.

Crinoline is not typically used as an outer fabric, but as a technical material that supports and shapes garments from within. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Why choose crinoline fabric?

  • Provides structure – Helps garments hold their shape
  • Lightweight stiffness – Adds support without excessive weight
  • Flexible reinforcement – Can be shaped and sewn into garments
  • Specialist use – Essential for certain dressmaking techniques

Crinoline fabrics are ideal for underskirts, hems, dress supports, millinery, costumes and structured garments, where volume or reinforcement is required.

Support without bulk

Crinoline is commonly used to stiffen hems, add flare to skirts or create internal structure in garments. It allows designers to achieve volume and shape while keeping the overall garment lightweight.

Designed for structure and shaping

From subtle hem reinforcement to full underskirt volume, crinoline plays a key role in dressmaking and costume design. It provides the hidden framework that allows garments to hold their intended form.

At Top Fabric, our crinoline fabrics are selected for consistency and usability—giving you reliable materials for both technical and creative applications.
