Victorian Bustle Gown

Description

Fifth historical gown in my mini-series and also my first commission.♥
:iconalexandra-chan: asked me to do my own interpretation of her character Flora Applegate in the style of my historical fashion designs. I tried to stay true to the original by keeping her hairstyle, her cap with flowers and trying to give her dress a similar colour, though I redesigned the dress.
Flora lives in London in the 1870s, meaning I got to design my first bustle gown.
There were actually two short periods during which the bustle was fashionable, my design shows one of the earlier bustle gowns which wasn't as extravagant as some of the 1880's bustles could get. Characteristic for the earliest bustle gowns is also the belt around the waist.

Here are my other designs:
