Step into the elegance of the late 1880s with this striking advertisement for Canfield's innovative folding bustles. Dated 1889, this lightweight frame bustle offered women a practical solution to the cumbersome and heavy traditional bustles of the Victorian era. The advertisement showcases the sleek and compact design of the folding bustle, which could be easily folded and carried when not in use, making it a must-have accessory for any fashionable woman on the go. The intricate detailing of the advertisement reveals the high-quality craftsmanship of the bustles, with their elegant cage-like frames adorned with delicate lace and ribbon trimmings. The undergarment, designed to enhance the curves and create an hourglass figure, was a crucial element of women's clothing during this period. The advertisement also highlights the comfort and convenience of the folding bustle, allowing women to move freely and gracefully without the restriction of heavy and unwieldy traditional bustles. The text encourages women to "discard the old-fashioned, unwieldy bustles" and embrace the modern and practical solution offered by Canfield's folding bustles. This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian fashion and the innovative solutions that emerged to meet the changing needs and desires of women during this era. The elegance and sophistication of the design, combined with the practicality and convenience of the folding mechanism, make this a truly captivating piece of fashion history.
