Meaning of "panniered" in English

The term "panniered" refers to a fashion style primarily seen in historical contexts. It describes clothing, often skirts or dresses, that are fitted with side hoops or frames to create an expanded, voluminous silhouette. This style was particularly popular in European fashion during the 18th century, where it helped to emphasize a narrow waist by dramatically widening the hips. The design mimics the shape of baskets or "panniers" that were used for carrying goods, hence the name. "Panniered" garments are typically associated with formal wear of the time.

Meaning of "panniered" in French

In French, "panniered" is used similarly to describe garments outfitted with a structural framework to create an exaggerated and prominent form around the hips. This fashion trend was especially prevalent during the reign of Louis XV and Louis XVI, where dresses were designed with intricate details to ensure the spreading of the fabric in a graceful manner. Much like in English, the term evokes the image of basket-like structures that transform the dress’s appearance for a more dramatic effect consistent with the fashion ideals of the French court in the 18th century.
