What self-respecting female sticks a hump on her back the size of a dollar’s worth of flour?
The Winston Herald, March 15, 1894 (Alabama)
That Pesky Bustle.—That ridiculous bustle is going to be “the fashion” again this summer. What self-respecting female sticks a hump on her back the size of a dollar’s worth of flour? It seems to a man up a tree like it’s time to call a halt and consider the bearings. We truly hope that the pretty girls of Winston will refrain from making themselves ridiculous by wearing the bustle this summer. We don’t care a snap what the ugly girls do about it.
