| Reference: bum roll / bumroll Reference information: Yes, that's a term. Just not sure about the third example you give. Maybe you could get away with just 'roll' for that? Sixteenth century ladies liked their skirts large and round and shaped like drums. Their skirts were supported by hooped constructions called farthingales. By the 1580s, the most stylish ladies (like these dancing at the French court, upper left) enhanced their farthingales further by adding a bum roll, or French farthingale: a tightly stuffed sausage-shaped pillow that tied around the waist and sat on the hips, adding an extra boost to their farthingales. http://twonerdyhistorygirls.blogspot.com/2013/05/bustles-bum... |
