Hi Becky,
Is it an oval pannier you are looking for?
Should it be straight at the top, or curved in the sides?
If you are going to make such a huge frame, i would suggest you to use
another hoop wire. I have used Wissners krinoline wire in the heavy weights,
but if your frame is going to be straight in top, it will not hold. I would
suggest you to use a thick cane in stead.
Jean Hunnisets panniers are good. If you want the french shape, the top hoop
hangs two far down. I have altered the frame because i wanted it to be at
elbow hight.

I have to design a "Mother Ginger" costume for this Christmas play of the
Nutcracker. I have many ideas from various sites. I see how to make the
hoops atand out at different angles. I've thought about this since the
first of December!!!! I work on it in my sleep. I've looked everywhere for
a pattern to use but so far nothing is as large as I need. BUT some of the
pictures I've found have been very helpful.
Yours has helped me to see how to put it together. Any suggestions on how
to make the underpinning hoops or farthingale that is 2-3 yards across? It
has to be large for that character.
