What are the crinolines in Marie Antoinette dresses called? Panniers?

LOL. Now I am in the mood for watching "The Making of Marie Antoinette"

Yes, Panniers or side hoops. Panniers were usually an under hoop which extended at the sides all in one piece and side or pocket hoops were like little baskets that attached to the sides=

Pocket hoops:

And while it's on the 18th century...

Wonderful!
The a la francaise dress thing you're talking about is a kind of train that begins from the "neck" of the person wearing the dress, right?
I saw a lot of that in Marie Antoinette.
Lauren, can I ask what you do for a living? You should be a costume designer!

 

[Lauren]

Yes, exactly!
Thank you! I am a costumer by trade. I design privately and work as a costume stitcher professionally.
