Cassidy Bustle, Size S/M, 24" of Ruffle Coverage - Coat Tail Style Bustle in Multi Colored Geometric
This listing is for the belted bustle overskirt only. Coordinating items may be available separately in my shop. =)
As a note on sizing, the size designations S/M & L/XL denote the size of the actual ruffle coverage, not the size range the waistband will fit. ***This bustle is a Sz. S/M, which has 24" of ruffles at the waistband.***
This bustle was designed to look amazing in a wide variety of outfits. If worn under a corset, it gives the look of a long peplum/coat tails. When paired with a corset and one of my cropped Pirate Jackets, it gives the appearance of a full length pirate coat. It also makes a cute belted split overskirt type piece if worn without a corset over it. These are patterned in a full circle cut, so they drape perfectly and swish beautifully as you walk. All fabrics used are durable upholstery weight fabrics. It is edged with handmade double fold bias and pleated onto a 1" wide waistband made from polypro belting. The waistband closes with a set of metal D-rings just like a belt, so it's pretty adjustable. These are incredibly versatile pieces. The closure is located at the left side, and it can be worn draped over one hip or at the back like a bustle.
This particular piece is made from a geometric jacquard in black, russet, gold, copper, pewter, dark gray, and beige. It is edged in iridescent mushroom silk dupioni bias and pleated onto a brown polypropylene belt with brass D Rings.
Actual garment measures:
Total length at the center back: 24" including the waistband
Total length at the short sides: 6 1/4" including the waistband
Waist: The belt will close on any waist/upper hip measurement of 64" or smaller, just keep in mind that the larger the waist/upper hip, the less coverage you'll get from the ruffles
Ruffles cover 24" of the waistband, for reference. It is shown on a 28" waist dress form.
