It’s not a weird sexy skirt. Not even a contemporary garment. It might surprise you but it’s a late-19th-century bustle. The back looks almost like a teenager’s miniskirt, doesn’t it?

Vintage American bustle cage from the 1880s. It is made from cane and cotton cloth. The bustle is small, but what a curious shape! It is tied around the waist under the skirt or dress. From The Met Museum

Bright red cotton bustle from the 1870s. It looks a bit odd but the color is so vivid.

Intricate American bustle from 1882. It’s made from steel frame covered with cotton. The construction allowed the lady to sit rather comfortably wearing this bustle cage.
