The invention of the cage crinoline during the Victorian era allowed women's dresses to maintain a full shape without layers and layers of heavy petticoats. They could actually move their legs freely beneath the hoops. Just like Steampunk's penchant for corsets as outerwear, a modern version of the cage crinoline is popular as a skirt style. Some women wear lingerie or bloomers underneath the cage for a sexier outfit, others let the cage peek out beneath a shorter overskirt to create visual interest.
