L112 1856-1889 Hoops and Bustles
This pattern contains two hoops, 3 bustles, and a bustle pad.
View A is a bell shape, meant to mimic the shape of multiple
petticoats. This is the shape of medium hoops from their invention in 1856
until the “elliptic” shape of View B became popular, about 1863. It
returned to popularity in 1869 to 1883, depending on the style of gown.
However, for theatrical use, this shape was the popular skirt shape in the
1830’s, 1840’s and 1850’s as well. The View B elliptic skirt was used from
1863 until about 1869. If you wear the bustle pad on top of it the shape
can be taken to 1871. The term elliptic is somewhat of a misnomer as these
hoops were round or nearly so.
View C, the bustle, rear hoop, and flat front were worn in the
heyday of trains and bustles from 1869 to 1876. This bustle/hoop can also
be worn under any gown with a train from 1883 to 1889. View D and E were
popular during the bustle revival years of 1883 to 1889. A bustle pad is
also included which was worn during the period when all other cages had
been discarded. All hoops and bustles are copies of extant period
garments.
All sizes are in the envelope. Contains easy instructions and clear
illustrations on how to make the bustles and hoops. Complete information
on how to work with hoop steel, multiple listings of suppliers of steel
and other supplies, pattern notes, and bibliography are included. All
these Victorian foundations and sizes are in one pattern.
