One of the reasons the Dior bustle dress looks so off in my opinion is that the bustle starts too low down on both her back and her hips and the angle is too sloped downward. As a result the proportions look WAY off. Historical bustles generally started higher up and the angles were sharper. I can’t stop thinking in the side view that the silhouette feels almost…centaur-like? Or like she’s got the back half of a horse costume hidden under her dress?
You already know I think it’s very chic to leave your own party early!!!
I think David Byrne talked about this suit in his recent "what's in my bag" on Amoeba's youtube channel, fyi!
