A farthingale is a frame or structure worn under a skirt to give it volume and support in the 16th and 17th centuries. It was typically made of metal or whalebone and shaped like a cage or hoop. The farthingale helped create the fashionable silhouette of the period by emphasizing the wide hips.
A wheel farthingale is a piece of Elizabethan underpinnings worn in the late 1500's. It's a wheel shape, worn low in the front, high in the back, worn over a bumroll and under a pair of bodies (a corset). The wheel farthingale came from France, but didn't achieve popularity until Queen Elizabeth took it up. It makes the waist look very small, and the torso long (and the legs short...), and is the look favored in many of Queen Elizabeth's portraits.
