This is my bustle petticoat. I made it yesterday and had a lot of fun with it! Here I do not have a bustle pad under it so it gives a more natural shape to the dresses. Kind of a late Victorian early Edwardian.
Here I have a bustle pad under it to give it more of a mid Victorian style under the dresses. It really poofs the back out!

Here is the front view of the dress. I have a contrasting panel in the front like a walking pleat. I will put small buttons on the front top of the dress.


Here is the back view. You can really see the train in the back. I have a kind of large pleat in the center back to help define the bustle in the back. I thought it got lost otherwise and it would have been to big otherwise. :D
