Materials: Cotton muslin, cotton
webbing, covered steel hoops, brass and steel findings, cotton cord.
Condition: Excellent. Two brass
eyelet holes pulled free of the muslin, faint rust marks on the hoop's
cotton coverings.
Measurements: 34" x 16".
Comments: This bustle is unusual in two
ways: one, it is in wonderful condition and two, it is adjustable. The
bustle adjusts by the inner lacing device, pulling the sides of the
bustle together and hence causing it to protrude more. This lacing
device and the front skirt panel may have been added after the bustle's
manufacture.
