Day ensemble • Silk taffeta • 1870-72 • The FIDM Museum (Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising), Los Angeles, California
About 1868, the crinoline silhouette went out of style. The smooth, distinctly bell-like shape of the crinoline supported skirt began to change form, with the fullness moving towards the back of the skirt. This new skirt shape required a different kind of understructure: the bustle. Essentially a cage crinoline cut in half, the bustle supported the back of the skirt, while leaving the front unsupported. In the early years of the 1870s, the bustle usually extended from the waist to about the mid-calf.
The bustle was fashionable until about 1875, when it went out of style as skirts were fitted closer to both the front and back of the body. Beginning about 1883, the bustle enjoyed another round of popularity until finally going entirely out of fashion about 1890.

Bustle • British • c. 1871 • Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute
This 1871 bustle is made of metal wire fully encased in cotton fabric. Of the means employed to force the projecting hoops toward the back of the body, the most common were interior fabric tapes or a panel that lay against the back of the body. This solution was not unlike that used to create eighteenth-century panniers. – – The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Of the five dresses in the above fashion plate, three feature strongly contrasting colors – a green and black walking dress, a purple walking dress with black trim and a pale cream house or walking dress trimmed with black. Note that the dresses at the far left and far right feature scalloped trim similar to the green trimmed scallops on the photographed dress.
