Fashion plate, from The QueenThis hand-coloured fashion plate is from The Queen, a monthly magazine published in London. The plate illustrates 11 examples of outdoor day wear for women and young girls and is dated 6 November, 1886. All of the outfits include the bustle which is quite exaggerated and tends to arch up and out from the back. The dress skirts are draped and trimmed at the back into elaborate bouffants. Even the two young girls' outfits include small bustles. The bustle consisted of a kind of projecting shelf of wadding or wire around which the dress could be built. Shaped rather like a lobster pot, it could be pushed aside when the wearer sat down. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
