Description This is my first real bustle gown
It's made from old vintage material (I think is from 60ies). It's sort of a striped bordeaux satin...the strips are printed on it.
it has three parts: skirt, bustle drapping and a jacket.
The jacket is fasened in front with row of satin ribbons. I even redecorated my old top hat and added mesh and some feathers

I wore this dress on Halloween party and ti feels great!

The picture of the underpinings will be posted later

Absolutely gorgeous. Having both horizontal and vertical stripes makes the dress more visually interesting, so great job with that.

ProfessorBats [2010-03-12 20:22:52 +0000 UTC]

Wow, great costume. I love the shape of the neckline (although it looks better when you actually have a "bosom", so I tend to do high collars myself). Making victorian costume is a lot of work but so rewarding!

I'll be making a 1870's bustle walking dress for halloween (it'll be my summer project ) but I'm little worried about the over skirt (bustle skirt) Any advice for the drapping?
