Bustles were an evolution...Thanks for your comment! Bustles were an evolution of the crinoline (hoop skirts). Like farthingales, panniers, hoops, corsets, bullet bras, or going braless; bustles were part of the aesthetic of the time period. I don't believe any fashion historian could point to one distinct reason for the creation of the bustle. There is certainly a sensual aspect of the enlarged posterior which also in turn diminished the already nipped in waist of the period. Bustles also were often worn with dramatic sweeping trains and much embellishment of the skirt, which definitely have an aesthetic appeal and showed off wealth and status. The bustle was slightly more practical than the crinoline because it could fit more easily through doors, hallways, carriages and crowded rooms. However, like the crinoline, it made sitting down quite inconvenient. As to the inventor, there were so many different styles of bustle on the market throughout the two bustle periods, I doubt that any one person or design house could take credit for creating it.Lindsey M Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17771674385093968848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4883697086859325922.post-23856187014081666832012-01-30T10:20:57.918-08:002012-01-30T10:20:57.918-08:00What was the rationalle behind the Bustle?

I don't want a traditional wedding dress, because for one it's not me at all, and two I want a dress I'll feel comfortable in and beautiful in. I've been to a few dress places and tried them on, but none call out to me to buy them. Our colors are Deep Purple, Hunter Green, Silver, and Black. I'd love to know if you could email me and let me know if you could do something for me and how much it would cost I would greatly apprectiate it. Thank you. :)<br /><br />My e-mail is: Fallwithfalloutboy@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4883697086859325922.post-44260961370221171112010-08-09T08:41:16.727-07:002010-08-09T08:41:16.727-07:00You look like a natural.
