Bustle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a tan-colored dress form mannequin with a wooden neck piece. The dress form is shaped like a woman's torso. A beige-colored undergarment resembling a corset or girdle is placed on the lower part of the dress form. The dress form has a seam running down the center of its back and appears to be covered in a smooth fabric. The undergarment has several curved metal strips attached to it and features a lace-like design at the top. The background of the image is a plain light-colored wall. The undergarment appears to be titled "Bustle" by an artist that is not specified.
