I have always love the crinoline ladies.  They're so elegant!  Yesterday I found a link (I think Enid posted it) for Crochet Memories.  They have gorgeous patterns and some of the patterns are Crinoline Ladies.  I couldn't resist this one!

I still need to get some silk or sating ribbons and I'm planning to make some tatted small flowers to make the decoration.  Then will be sew into a towel for mom's bathroom which is pink.

The thread is Altin Basak #10 and baby pink (tho the scan looks dark).
