A few photographs showing the elliptical crinoline and gigantic petticoat I made for Barbara Morrison’s beetlewing dress at the West Highland Museum. I ended up making two crinolines; I had to make a smaller one to fit in the space in Room 5 where the dress is on permanent display along with one of the interpretation panels I created for the temporary exhibition in the Jacobite room. I could have perhaps made an even bigger one for the temporary exhibition, looking back at the photographs!
