See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
In the actual world where crinolines are bought and sold by people who are not Gud or tommyrot, a knee-length or longer crinoline will probably run you in the neighborhood of $40-50.
If they are nicer or fancier or fluffier or longer, it may be more (I just saw a ballgown-length "Mega Full" crinoline for $115, if you're looking for a serious The King And I vibe), and if they are the short superfluffy nylon crinolines, probably $30-35ish. Vintage clothing stores sometimes have them for a bit less.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Peh. That world is boring.

Hey, my gut was telling me $5 was a good price, not a realistic price.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am shocked, shocked!, at the professed male ignorance of crinolines.
I am also thinking that crinolines are kind of like tiaras. If I didn't wear one at my wedding, chances are I'm never gonna wear one now. Although I do have a lovely circle skirt that would look darling with one. Also on the list of buffista-adored clothing that I can't imagine me buying is a corset, but that is more of a cost issue as the nice ones seem to run in the $100s.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for the level setting.
I'm not much of a tiara person, but having bought one skirt that kinda has its own crinoline, I'm looking at them a bit more. But I have no circle skirts, so it's just looking.
Really want an underbust corset. It's mostly about getting organised and settling on a fabric.

I think corsets are beautiful, I just can't justify buying formal wear.
