In the 18th century the pocket was a separate small, flat bag or pair of bags, tied round the waist under the dress and reached through a placket hole. With the slim muslin skirts of the early 19th century they were replaced by bags which were held (ridicules, reticules, indispensables), though were maintained for court dress and when travelling. A built-in pocket in the skirt, reached through a pocket hole at the back, was increasingly inserted in the 1840s.
