I love constructing Victorian bustle dresses from all appropriate fabrics. The silk fabric bustle poufs have ch a special frosting like fluffiness. Silk slubs(the nubby lines) add dimension that makes the fabric look very very rich. The dress set is ideal for Victorian events, Gothic events, Steampunk events, Victorian weddings, Victorian balls, teas, promenade, Mardi Gras, Venice Carnival, cosplay, reenactments, Comicon, DragonCon, CostumeCon, and many more events.
