Horsehair Bustle

I finished this bustle yesterday.  It's based on a style seen in several fashion plates, for late Natural Form era, 1880-82 or so.  It's very subtle, just a teeny bit of oomph under a pretty smooth silhouette.

I think it's just the cutest little bustle I've ever seen!  And I realized yesterday that this is the first historical costume-y thing I've made since before F was born.  Finally!
