What is another word for bustles?
Pronunciation: [bˈʌsə͡lz] (IPA) 
Bustles are a popular piece of clothing worn by women historically to add fullness and volume to their skirts. Synonyms for this word include petticoats, crinolines, hoops, and can-cans. Petticoats are still used by some women today, particularly in formal wear, to add volume and shape to skirts. Crinolines are similar to petticoats but are made of stiffer material, giving them a firmer shape. Hoops are also used to add volume to skirts, with hoops made of wire or plastic added under the skirt to create a bell shape. Finally, can-cans are a type of French petticoat made of ruffles of fabric that add fullness and bounce to skirts.
