daydress.jpg (22156 bytes) Pocket Panniers:
Also called side hoops, were worn beneath the lady's gown and petticoat to give a wide, billowing effect to 18th century formal and semi-formal clothing.
Panniers are set on an adustable waist-tie, and may be permanantly sewn or pinned after adjustmnet by the wearer. We recommend that the knot or bow be offset either to the right or left so that no unsightly "bulge" will show in the center front when the dress is put on.
(Note: The pannier hooping is not washable. To remove it for washing, carefully take out the stitching at the ends of the hoop casing and pull out the hooping.)
