Talk:Pannier (clothing)

De-stubbed[edit]

This article appears to be of an appropriate length for the subject matter under discussion. It is also appropriately categorized and wikified.

By nature, stubbing and tagging articles devalues them, giving them an aura of unreliability and making them seem less credible. As part of my personal campaign to free up articles that have been stubbed and tagged without cause, this article has been disenstubbified.

If any editor disagrees, and would rather re-stub it than improve it by adding actual content, please discuss here. The Editrix 03:44, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edit war[edit]

Previous edit was a shot in an edit war, when consensus hasn't been reached. Please cease and desist until the community reaches consensus. The Editrix 12:20, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're the one who's unilaterally trying to impose her strange categorizations on Wikipedia, without even having the common decency to offer the remainder of us peons on Wikipedia one single shred of meaningful explanation. The fact that you've been silent on your user talk page for three days now (while very actively editing on Wikipedia all the while), indicates that you have no meaningful explanation to offer -- and that being the case, I feel no hesitancy in reverting to the categories that were there before you started unilaterally imposing your individual agenda. Frankly, your high-and-mighty accusations of "edit-warring" don't go very well together with your refusal to offer any meaningful explanation for your uncooperative unilateral actions (which others have called into question as well as my self).Churchh 13:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article was recategorized in 2006 in accordance with a scheme for organizing articles in Category:History of clothing.

That effort has been superseded by WikiProject Fashion.

Please join that project or see its talk page for further discussion.

Polonaise?[edit]

I studied XVIIIth French fashion and I can say that this information is wrong. A robe à la Polonaise didn't have paniers. In fact a Polonaise is: A dress very less wide, with rigid corset but with a gown simpler, short to the ankle, without paniers or other structures, but overtopped by a outergown curled at the rear. This curl is obtained pulling little inner rope, like a theatre-curtain. This is a Robe à la Polonaise:http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/images/h2/h2_1976.146a,b_1970.87.jpg in this paint Marie Antoinette wears a normal dress of court, very wide with panniers like an other (more famous) paint:
