Marie Antoinette in a court dress of 1779 worn over extremely wide panniers. Portrait by Mme Vig-Lebrun.
Panniers or side hoops are women's undergarments worn in the eighteenth
century to extend the width of the skirts at the side while leaving the
front and back flat. This provided a flat panel where boldly scaled
woven patterns or rich embroidery could be fully appreciated.
The style originated in Spanish court dress of the seventeenth century,
familiar in portraits by Velquez. By mid-eighteenth century it had been
developed into the robe la fran?aise, which ensured that a woman took
up three times as much space as a man and always presented an imposing
spectacle. At their most extreme, in the French court of Marie
Antoinette, panniers could extend the skirt several feet at each side.
The name comes from panniers, a French term for wicker baskets (paniers
in current French) slung on either side of a pack animal.
