Halloween Knight skirt progress! 🎃
I'm undecided if I'm gonna try to cut the crinoline so it's open like in my illustration, but this is what we're working with so far! I'm really happy with how the draping looks so far, especially for how simple cutting all the pieces was ✨
I think she just needs a bottom layer and then I'll be sewing everything onto a waistband & finishing her up 🤟

Not sure if it would work but could you use something like skirt hikes to hold up a portion of the crinoline to keep it stable, Then remove them when you need the full crinoline, this way you don’t have to mess with the hoop boning??
As other Brian and Sohni have said you could take out a panel from the crinoline and add someway to make it reachable. Velcro or bias tape with snaps already on it would be easiest. Just make sure you secure the boning in the skirt, I usually use hot glue to make a cap if you don't have boning caps. Then I secure the edge by sewing bias tape/ribbon wrapped around the edge to keep the boning from sticking out. Good luck, and may the sewing gods be ever in you favor!!!
Kira, could you make an invisible seam/zipper on the crinoline to allow you to have it open and fully enclosed any time you want to swap it? It'd be more work but could make it more adaptable for use outside of the costume
