Hoop skirts, however, prevailed throughout the century and towards the mid to late 1700s, became so wide and uncomfortable that they were condemned by published pamphlets in England as being a public nuisance.
Variations of the hoop skirt developed throughout the 1700s. Panniers — an oblong hoop skirt that was flat in the front and back — were created to emphasize the hips. There was also a simple bum roll, which was essentially a small pillow that rested on the rear and tied around the waist.
