IMPORTANT: This hoop skirt is made on demand only - if you can't find your waist measurement in the dropdown menu - write us a note - all sizes are possible, even if they aren't listed or in between listed sizes. These pocket hoops are constructed from ribbons, similar to the victorian cage crinoline (which we offer as well) - rather than from solid fabric. This makes that model of paniers very stunning to look at and therefore perfect to wear as a top garment - e.g. for stage costumes, burlesque outfits or elaborate festival creations - it's up to your creativity! But these pocket hoops aren't just decorative, you can also wear a gown over them, since we use the same solid german-quality hoop steels, like in all our other hoop skirts, it is sturdy enough to be used as a proper undergarment as well. If you are searching for a underpinnings-only hoop skirt, we would recommend our big pocket hoops with tulle ruches (you can find them in our "hoop skirts" section here on Etsy) - they are a bit bigger and the tulle overlay prevents the hoops from showing on the overskirt, plus, they can serve as pockets, too! Our cage paniers are made from sturdy cotton twill and twill ribbons , the fabric is pre-washed and the steel hoops are removable, if you have to clean the pocket hoops. They are firmly attached to a waistband, that keeps the pockets securely in place. We can also add ties to fastend both cages together at the centre front and back - at no extra cost! If you need those cage pocket hoops in black - no problem, we have a listing for a black model as well in our shop! Any other colour is possible as well - in that case, write us a message!. Please allow 1-2 weeks to make your pocket hoops - in some cases, times can vary, e-g. if we have a lot of work. You can always ask us before your order, about production times and/or additional options for customisation. Feel free to send us a message, if you have any other questions, too :) Material specifications: 100% cotton
