Historical bustle - Figure distortion

The perfect figure has been desired for a long time, originally with bustles in the Victorian era. This was a very extreme measure to create a more curvaceous figure as this was very in fashion at the time and well off women wouldn't be seen dead without one! Nowadays, women still desire a larger, rounded bottom, sometimes opting for 'bum implants' as a drastic way to change the shape of their bottoms. Another method is to buy special pants (such as the ones below) that give some extra padding around the bottom to create a fuller looking, more curvaceous backside. This is quite discrete and obviously is not to the same extent as the Victorian bustles. This distortion on the figure is ideally to improve the person's appearance, whereas much of the other distortion work I have researched into has been for the purpose of exploration and creativity, often showing the subject in a more unattractive light.
