★ 1830s BUM ROLL ★
Worn atop the chemise and corset, but below the petticoats and skirts, the bum roll provided the elegant bell-shaped silhouette. The visual contrast between the shoulders and hips and the waist was created using a bum roll.
Each piece is made carefully, by me, in my studio, using sustainable materials and methods wherever possible. A single layer of linen, the bum roll is stuffed with natural fabric scraps accrued from my hours creating other like garments, giving the piece weight, shape and density; perfect for supporting your beautiful gowns.
★ DETAILS ★

No two articles I make are exactly the same. This is a historically inspired piece, made using a combination of historical and modern techniques. Please allow for small variations in size, shape and colour.
This listing is for the bum roll only. The chemise and mannequin are not included.
Thank you for supporting my dream of owning a slow fashion, handmade historical undergarments business.
