Question
How long was widow expected to mourn in the Victorian era?
Rank Answer Posted By  
 Question Submitted By :: Guest
I also faced this Question!!   © ALL Interview .com
Answer
In the Victorian era a widow would mourn for two and a half 
years, with the first year and a day in full mourning.  
During that time pieces of the crape covered just about all 
of a garment at deepest mourning, but the crape was 
partially removed to reach the period of secondary mourning 
which lasted nine months.  After that the crape was defunct 
and a widow could wear fancier lusher fabrics or fabric 
trims made from black velvets and silk and have them 
adorned with jet trimming, lace, fringe and ribbons.  In 
the final six months a period called half mourning began.  
Ordinary clothes could be worn in acceptable subdued shades 
of grey, white or purple, violet, pansy, heliotrope, soft 
mauves and of course black.

Question

Answer
Crape for mourning. Crape (always spelt with an ?a? to 
indicate mourning crape) was the most used fabric for 
mourning clothes.   Crape was dull looking silk gauze like 
a crimped and stiff textured material and mostly dyed the 
deepest of blacks, although white crape was used for the 
widow's cap.  Black was the chief mourning colour in the 
immediate months after a death for deepest mourning.

Question
What does 'crin 'mean?
Rank Answer Posted By  
 Question Submitted By :: Guest
I also faced this Question!!   © ALL Interview .com
Answer
Crin' is French for horsehair so the word crinoline 
suggesting a crin lining was used for any garment area that 
was stiffened to give shaped foundation. Strip hem linings 
and a sleeve head are just two examples where crin was 
used. Later by 1850 the word crinoline began to mean the 
whole of the beehive shaped skirt. It was then only another 
step to call the later artificial or cage hooped support 
frame petticoats after 1856, crinolines.
