More pink fluff

Lets talk underwear shall we?

So I own ONE bustle.....

And that's just not the shape of my delicious pink confection. My hour of perusing fashion plates this morning makes me think it's early 1870s or even 1869 somewhere in that strange transition between the elliptical hoop and the bustle.

So what the heck does one put under that? I have the option of TV108 with my awesome employee discount. So the real question is anyone ever made it? Do you think the two bones around the entire bottom would help with the very round shape?

I have fallen hook, line and sinker for the styles seen between 1867 and 1870. That's thanks to Kentwell of course with their new Victorian events which are also permanently fixed in 1869.

Really hoping I get my voile finished this summer ready to wear in CoCo this year.

I have to say that I am a big fan of the transition era too, much more variety in styles to chose from than in other more extreme Victorian periods.
