In the early eighteenth century, side hoops were first worn over the chemise to support the outer dress. Hoop skirts then became fashionable. Many were linen or cotton petticoats with cane or whalebone inserts. The fashion allowed ladies to wear elaborate gowns at Court.
Despite the occasional, tantalising glimpse of ankle afforded as the skirts swung, there was a great deal of masculine opposition to this fashion.
