How to sit in a hoopskirt

It is probably the single most-asked question I've ever had when I'm in costume. (The second-most asked question is "aren't you hot in that?" The answer to that is yes, but why would I care about THAT when I get to wear HOOPSKIRTS?!)

Thanks! I kept reading about all these hoop skirt horror stories while researching on whether I should get a hoop skirt or just a petticoat.....Now I don't have to worry! You're awesome! ❤😊

Go for it! Hoopskirts are actually a ton of fun to wear.

That solves the mystery. Always wondered how it happened.

The crawling under the chair thing it's not weird, it's called a crawling baby or toddler. 😂

Love it! My daughters were docents in hoop skirts and this question was always asked!

It comes up at Renaissance festivals a lot... new actors, and the brides.

Such wholesome tutorial❤

I get called wholesome before - which is funny for someone talking about underwear online...
