RUMP ROAST : Ranking historical fashion's wildest fake butt pads

Historical dress is full of fake butt pads, bustles, and body shapers of all kinds. Let's rank some of the weirdest ones in a tier list!

Bustle pad, bum roll, and even false rump : these are all real fashion history terms for real historical underpinnings, and they are as funny as they sound. Fake butts and butt pads are hundreds of years old, and fashion trends have gotten REAL creative with them! When you make fun of your bustle pad, it's a RUMP ROAST, so I'm ranking a tier list of my favorite and least favorite historically accurate fake butts and bustles, the ancestors of modern body shapers and shapewear. From the Elizabethan bumroll to the 18th century false rump to Victorian bustle cage skirt supports to Edwardian bustle and hip pads, the evolution of fashion has always loved a good fake butt to round out the historical silhouette.

We're not here to judge historical accuracy, so don't take this as an authoritative judgement on costume design! We're just here to have a good time making fun of really old underwear. Butt jokes are universal no matter how much you know about historical costume, and even as a fashion historian, I can't imagine going around with some of the weird bustlepads here strapped to my butt! Please join me and hundreds of years of fashion history in laughing at the weird butt pads, bustles, and things people wore to get the right historical silhouette.
