瘤と束 Explanation: I think this is talking about uncomfortable humps and bunches of clothing (and hair) of that period's fashion. |

（スカートを）ふくらませたりしめつけたり Explanation: 当時はクジラの骨などでスカートを大きく膨らませることがはやっていたので、humpingはhumpback whaleから来ているのではないかと思います。またbunchingは、コルセットで体を締め付ける、または布を束ねるような服飾ではないかと思います。 Reference: http://www.hawaiianencyclopedia.com/humpback-whales.asp |
