Tournure (bustle)

anonymous, c. 1880 - c. 1884

From the moment the hoop skirt (crinoline) went out of fashion in Paris in the 1860s, Dutch women had their metal hoops bent backwards into an oval by the blacksmith. A long, slender silhouette with emphasis on the buttocks was now expected and so the bustle (tournure) began its rise, sometimes incorporated into a skirt but also as a loose piece fastened around the waist.

  • Description

    Na de ronde crinoline komen ovale hoepelrokken in de mode, die steeds vaker een meer dan natuurlijke verdikking boven de billen hebbe. Dit is het gevolg van het steeds ranker wordende silhouet, waarbij de nadruk op de slepende achterkant komt te liggen. Zon ontwikkelden zich in de loop van de jaren 1870 en 1880 allerlei verschillende modellen tournures, die omstreeks 1884 hun maximale volume bereikten. Zij staan nu vanaf de taille horizontaal af. Dit model kan door middel van de knoopsluiting middenvoor gemakkelijk aangetrokken worden. Het is licht in gewicht en klapt in wanneer men gaat zitten.
