Contemporary Bustle
- Tonya Schneider (Central Washington University)
Abstract
Contemporary Bustle brings together both contemporary and historical design elements to create a garment to be worn in the next century. The bustle, shaped after those of the 1870's, is removable and hooks at center front. The skirt was created with a large, center back, godet-type flare that is beautiful when worn alone or compliments the bustle. The skirt and bustle are made of iridescent, acetate taffeta. Black trim, typical of the 1870's, finishes the hem and the edge of the bustle tail.
