Panniers or side hoops are women's undergarments worn in the 17th and 18th centuries to extend the width of the skirts at the side while leaving the front and back relatively flat. The earlier form of the pannier took the shape similar to a 19th-century crinoline. At their most extreme panniers could extend the skirt several feet at each side. By the 1780s, panniers were normally worn only to very formal gowns and within court fashion.
Our version of panniers is simple to made yet fun and still functional.
