The bumroll is a padded garment that ties around the waist.
It is used to provide shaping to the skirts. The contrast between the smooth torso and wide skirts helps to support
the illusion of a small waist.
The bumroll was especially popular during the Elizabethan period, where it helps to "kick
out" the cartridge pleated skirts. Also, as the wheel farthingale became more fashionable, the bumroll helped support
the wheel.
Prices begin at $35 depending on fabrics
and options selected.
