I have a crinoline in white that I would love to find in black, but the tag is blank so I have no idea what the brand is. I'm assuming it was mass produced, as I stumbled upon a picture of a green one that is exactly the same. A picture of the green one is attached

It has an elastic waist, cotton yoke, and 2 layers of nylon net with 3 tiered layers of floral lace on both of the net layers. Thanks for any help!
 
I've seen a lot of vintage crinolines over the years, and they almost always come in white - in fact I think that your green one is probably a white one that has been dyed (which explains the different shades of green, it's because of the different materials it's constructed with).

If you're after a black one, you can find similar styles on ebay - or try a modern repro style like the ones that Malco Modes make. Whilst it's possible you'll find the exact one in black, you might be on a bit of a wild goose hunt because without a label, it's hard to know if they were even made in black. There were many companies that made petticoats like this.
