    Why were women's skirts of 1800's royalty so bushy and lateral?

    Movies show that in the aristocracy way back in Marie Antoinette's time, that skirts were way to wide. Why?

          Well there was no form of birth control and the idea was that if you had to struggle with all that clothing you would lose the urge.
