The crinoline was not a moral and decent dress and the period in which it reached its peak, Second Empire France was not a moral period either. Crinoline moved uncontrolled, thrown from side to side, it was like wearing a restless balloon. At that time it was considered immoral if a women's ankles and legs showed under the garment and when one carried a crinoline, its movements were sometimes very embarrassing.
In 1860's, the crinoline slipped to the back, and with the defeat of France in 1870, the crinoline was also defeated out of fashion.
