What part of the 1870s do you mean? The "natural form" of the later
1870s does include overskirts and yes, even bustles, but it is overall a
narrower silhouette than that of the early and mid 1870s.
I put many patterns for the late 1860s in my book Reconstruction Era
Fashions, and many late 1870s and early 1880s patterns in my two-volume
work Fashions of the Gilded Age.

Okay, folks, I may be getting a Steampunk urge, since a big event is right up
the road in May. I long ago wanted to do an 1870s bustle style and this seems
like a good opportunity.
