This Summer Three-Piece Dress is worn without a bustle. The October 1889 issue Godey's Ladies Magazine states:

The war between a small bustle and none at all still continues. Everyone cannot dispense with this little addition to their figures. Those who can dispense with it, however, are only to glad to do so, and, by making underskirts very full at the back, this can generally be done, even by not quite perfect figures.
