Hi everyone, I'm looking for 16th century images of bum rolls (no not to
wear with a Spanish Farthingale),
I've got 2 in mind in particular, the first is a cartoon poking fun at
fashion, it shows women in a dressmaker's shop and there's at least one
woman with her skirt lifted up to show the bum roll.
The second is a painting, all I can remember is a group of women sitting on
stools in the foreground wearing pastel colours facing away from the viewer
to look at something in the middle of the painting (I'm thinking they are
looking at a dance but I may be confusing it with another painting). The way
their hips are enlarged but their skirts compress relatively easily to sit
down suggests a bum roll, for some reason I'm thinking this image is
associated with the French Court but I can't remember why.
thanks
Elizabeth
