Man invents Improvements to Dress Bustle
Bainbridge Republican, February 3, 1888
A young married man, of Unadilla [Otsego Co., NY], has invented a patent bustle which is evidently an improvement over anything now on the market. It is made of rubber, with valves and a blow-off. When the fair wearer sits down, the blow-off opens, and the escaping air escapes through her dress collar, and blows her bangs into the latest "crazy" fashion. when she stands again the action expands the bustle, the in-rushing air blows a whistle for her dog, shakes the wrinkles out of her skirts, etc.--Well, that accounts for the strange noises. How stupid we men are.
