All About Bustles

Leslie Bellais, from the Wisconsin Historical Society, will talk to our members about the evolution of bustles as an element of feminine style. This topic was the focus of her master’s thesis “The History and Significance of Late 19th Century Bustles”. Leslie has spoken to our group in the past about the evolution of underwear to outerwear and always provides a delightful look at what was once a must-have for the fashion conscious woman.
