Questions About Victorian Bustle Dresses
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    The parts of a Victorian dress are called the bodice and the skirt. Bodice refers to the area of the dress above the waist, while the skirt is the portion that flows from the waist to the floor. Underneath their dresses, Victorians often wore corsets to cinch their waistlines, hoop crinolines to enhance the shape of the skirt and bustles to lift the back of the dress in the buttocks area. However, these undergarments were separate pieces that had to be put on prior to a dress. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of historic, vintage and contemporary dresses.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Victorian dresses consist of two parts, the bodice and the skirt. What makes Victorian dresses special and distinctive is the ample back of the skirt which is supported by a bustle. The bustle is not a part of the dress; it is an undergarment that’s similar to a half slip with enough support to lift the heavy fabrics of a Victorian skirt. Shop a collection of vintage clothing from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
