克里诺林裙衬（Crinoline），裙衬即裙撑，是一种用马尾、棉布或亚麻布浆硬后做的硬质裙撑，类似于此前的鲸骨裙衬（farthingale）。“克里诺林”一词源于拉丁语“crinis”（意思是“毛发”)）和“lin”（即“麻”）的组合词。另一说是源于法语单词“crin”（马尾毛）和“lin”（麻）的组合词。首次出现在1830年，到了1850年，英国人发明了不用马尾硬衬的新型克里诺林，是用鲸须、鸟羽的茎骨、细铁丝或藤条做轮骨，用带子连接成鸟笼状的裙撑。这种裙撑1860年传入法国，以欧仁妮皇后为中心的宫廷和社交界上流女子们所喜爱，迅速成为流行服装，以致影响到西欧各国的所有阶层，甚至农妇们也仿效其形式，故服装史上也把这一时期称为克里诺林时代。

A hoop skirt or hoopskirt is a women's undergarment worn in various periods to hold the skirt extended into a fashionable shape. Its Tudor name was a 'farthingale'.

It originated as a modest-sized mechanism for holding long skirts away from one's legs, to stay cooler in hot climates and to keep from tripping on the skirt during various activities. Small hoops might be worn by farmers and while working in the garden. Hoops were then adopted as a fashion item, and the size and scale of the hoops grew in grandeur.
