A Bustle for the Ages

Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: FASHION (in its day)
If you can look past the wear and tear on the body a dress like this took - with whale bone corseting, wire bustle, and the weight of all that heavy fabric and beading - it is a work of art!
Beautifully draped satin with large pleats, gorgeous beading, a sweet high ruffle, and incredibly fashioned and gathered material for the bustle.

An amazing dress both in construction and artistry! I also like the drapery and painted backdrop, plus the layout and typography of the photographer's info at the bottom is nifty, too.
