Drawers became a necessary part of a woman's wardrobe with the advent of the hoop. It was the most efficient way of covering the legs and providing modesty as hoop could sometimes swing out of control revealling too much of a lady. At a minimum, drawers came to below the knee and were often finished with lace. The split in the crotch seam of the drawers would have made matters of personal hygine easier. One may see the term pantalettes used to describe drawers as well.
