First bustle era Bustle Cage

  A bustle cage is an absolute must for the bustle periods era - it  provided skirt support and created that iconic silhouette with a beautifully rounded posterior - ideal to display the fabrics and elaborate drapery of the bustle dresses.

This model has been specially designed for the first bustle era silhouette - suitable for the 1871-78 fashions.  it provides a rounded shape at the upper part (more or less pronbounced, please state your preference in the comment section) and it flares gently out to the back, supporting the volume of the skirt.

 Option -  an added on tarlatan and cotton flounce to support the lower part of the skirt and the train and preventiong the skirt from dirting up too soon. this can be wither sewn in, to be unpicked and sewn in again after wash, or buttoned up - please state your preference

 Features:

 *made in strong white cotton twill (other colour and fabric options available too, please ask!)

*  boned with steel bones  - choose 8 for light to medium suport, 10 for medium and 12 for heavy duty ( heavy, trained gowns in heavy fabrics - wool, velvets etc)
