1856 Hildegard Luise von Bayern lithograph by Adolf Dauthage

From Wikimedia. Her very brief Wikipedia article is here.

This illustration shows what early cage crinoline dresses look like with the highly decorated skirt only slightly flattened at the front. Hildegarde von Bayern's dress was probably a treat to see in color with patterned cloth and flowers used for decoration.
