Bustle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a tan-colored bustle with red trim, titled "Bustle" by the artist. The bustle is made of tan fabric, possibly silk or cotton, and features multiple layers of gathered and ruffled fabric. The ruffles are curved and have a wavy edge, with a thin red trim along the bottom of each layer. The bustle is attached to a tan-colored fabric base that covers the hips and lower back. The base has a wide waistband with a small loop on the left side, likely for fastening. The bustle is displayed on a mannequin or dress form, which is only visible from the waist down. The background of the image is white.
