At this time the crinoline style has gone out of fashion. Large skirts now appear flattened at the front with the rest of the skirt bunched up at the back forming an early bustle style. The effect of fullness at the back was aided to by flounces and draping. Underneath, bustle pads and cages were worn to form the structure for skirts to be draped over. Sleeves are full and waistlines, which are normal, are still tight-fitting.
