I don't think so. It's 1665 or so, right? Lots of petticotes, but the farthingale is out and the panniere hasn't come in. A long corset, some kind of bum roll, but no frame for the skirt. Think of Faye Dunnaway getting undressed in the Richard Lester "Three Musketeers". Yes, that's earlier but the idea is similar.
Enough fabric in the skirts, and cutting the panels in gores instead of squares, would make them drape properly, which is probably what you're reacting to.
