This lovely bustle slip was custom made NEW from a Laughing moon Bustle pattern. This is the shorter version of the lobster cage bustle that adds the astonishing lovely shaping to the bustle dresses and gowns that feature trains. We use heavy weight muslin fabric. The petticoat is formed by 4 tiers of frothy ruffling sewn over the four (4) steel hoop bones that form the cage. The ruffles soften the hoop cage. A set of stays are built into the bustle to control the half moon shaping. The stays are adjusted by loosening or tightening the drawstrings ( shoelaces) laced in metal grommets. Stays (above) with drawstring shoe laces rest on the bum. The tighter you pull the shoelaces, the more the bustle pushes out in the back. This bustle undergarment was most popular during the "Bustle Revival Period from 1883 to 1889. A bustle pad pillow comes with the slip for extra support if needed. The waistline closes with thin but strong narrow belting-opens and closes with hook and bars. This bustle can be custom ordered in any size from a 22 waist to a 52 waist. Please email your waist and height measurements with payment.
