GRACEARTWomen's Victorian Bustle Hoop Skirt Crinoline Cage Pannier

Well-made, but not wide enough for my size 14 posterior. As some other reviewers have said, one would need to put more padding on it to give it sufficient width.Although I need something with adjustable tapes, this would be a good choice for someone with a narrow behind.

The bustle cage is perfect for my evening 1880s Victorian dress. I was so happy to find this without having to make one. ForSomeone with limited knowledge and no sewing machine this was just what I needed. I'm 5-2 and the number 3 style meets up with the back of my knees. Whichis perfect and it's not touching the ground.The back of the cage creates a nice silhouette shape for the time period that I'm going for. It adds about 4-5 inches in the back top so petticoats are recommend if you need more volume. The reason I'm giving this 4/5 stars is that the materialcould be better. I also felt that it was a little over priced for the quality. I ended upusing some lace trim on the top to add some more volume. Plus I wanted something with a little more decoration.

This thing (or what I received) is a pannier not a bustle. It gives the wrong shape / silhouette under skirts. It hags very low, is super narrow and then bumps way out. Perfect for rococo hips not perfect for Edwardian 1900s look. Kinda bummed out it didn’t work out well.

If you're an XS or a S, this is probably a great bustle for you. I made it work for a costume by adding a bum pad over top of it, but it's not the right size for a normal sized woman. If you're looking for a bustle for a kid's or young adult's costume, this is probably a good option.Heads up: the "boning" is plastic, so it can snap if you sit on it! I didn't find this to be a problem until I stored it wrong, now this is unusable. But as a costume piece, it's not bad for a small woman or child. NOT steel boning!

This is a well-made collapsible bustle that may be smaller than desired for most Western bums. Fwiw, my waist is 30", my hips are 39". As you can see in the images, the product top boning is at 9" (Sorry, my metric brethren, it's all in inches), and my home-drafted bustle pad sits at roughly 14". I will keep the product and make a lightly padded-on-the-sides, ruffled drape, to see if I can fluff it out and reduce bone silhouette through the petticoats. If you are looking for a grand bustle or a wider fit, give this one a hard pass. Perfect for wee bums, though. If my experiment doesn't work, I'll hand it down to my younger, tinier sisters.--Lyn

This seems to be quite well made but is VERY small. They must have it displayed in a child size mannequin! I’m sorry I didn’t do the conversion from cm to inches, that’s my bad, but I hate when companies try to fool you! Too bad, because it seems nicely made in other respects

I was skeptical about the quality of this but took a chance because the shape was reasonably accurate for a late Victorian bustle. There are several mislabeled versions of various foundation garments spanning 200 years from this vendor, so be sure you're ordering the correct one for your project. I was pleasantly surprised at the good construction and function. Saves me considerable time and effort making it myself. Now I can get straight to making the fun stuff!

If this had been advertised as child sized it would be perfect because it worked as a bustle (hoops on the bum) for my six year old but was too small for my 13 year old who is a child size 12. Don’t buy this as a back bustle. It might work as side panniers, but then you’d need to buy two.Also, I returned it over a week ago and they haven’t refunded my daughter’s money.

The photograph of this item is misleading, it is labelled as 'womens Victorian crinoline' and appears to be on a full-sized mannequin but when I unpacked the item it was tiny...child sized. I wear a UK 12/14 and this crinoline tied neatly around one thigh! It did not create an authentic Victorian shape, but a strange 'bump'.Other than tiny size it was as described. Absolutely perfect for a very petite woman (uk size 4/6) or a childs costume but certainly not suitable for anyone else.

Well made but hoop was broken

Brilliant and sturdy bustle cage. It folds when you sit so it is really practical and comfortable. I highly recommend this product!

Easy to store away, great volume, really great for giving a skirt a bit of extra... backside :)

Devo realizzare una gonna vittoriana e non volevo utilizzare il cuscino. Questo prodotto è perfetto, il tessuto è molto liscio e la stoffa della gonna vi scivola bene sopra, le costole sono comode da raccogliere a fisarmonica e ci si siede senza problemi. Il cinturino è molto lungo perciò va bene anche per chi è un po' più cicciotta come me: direi che non ci sono problemi di taglia. Consiglio di fare un sottogonna o una coda fiocco o una sopragonna con arricciatura dietro, in modo da mettere più strati di stoffa per non fare intravedere le coste, come indicava la moda dell'epoca.
