About MeBeige facecloth wool bustle jacket fitted at the waist and shaped and flared at the back to accommodate a bustle. Toning braid is stitched in a swirling pattern and it fastens with mother-of-pearl buttons.

The bustle briefly reappeared again around 1885 but in a more exaggerated form than previously. The bodice is still closely moulded to the waist and bust. Sleeves tend to be tight with a slight puff at the top.
