Hoop skirts, petticoats, and pettiskirts exaggerate the appearance of the transition from a woman's waist to her hips, making the hips appear much wider. This is frequently found attractive to men as wide hips (if they were real) offer a significant reproductive advantage (being able to give birth to larger healthier babies more easily) and evolution has selected men to look for wide hips in women (but has not selected to allow them to tell real hips from fakes). Women know what attracts men and don't mind using tricks :-)
