Lead:


 * I don't think this article's lead has a strong introductory sentence. The majority of the article thus far focuses on the history of the bustle and how it has evolved; however, there is no mention of the history in the lead outside of what century the bustles were worn in.
 * I think the lead either needs some more information regarding the history of the bustle, or the content in the paper needs to focus more on what exactly a bustle is and less of the history.

Content:


 * I think the content that is in the article thus far is relevant and strong. I think there's some content gaps though and some areas not covered at all in this article.
 * is the bustle something still used today?
 * Are there certain individuals who wear bustles versus people who don't? (race, class, etc)
 * How does the bustle compare to other clothing items from the same time period?

Tone and balance:


 * I think all the information currently in the article is provided in a neutral way!
 * I didn't feel like I was being persuaded or told to believe anything other than factual information about the bustles.

Sources and references:


 * Here's some parts of the article that were not related to a source or cited in the text:
 * the section on history from 1889-1913 had no citations
 * contemporary fashion also had no outside sources apart from links to other wiki pages
 * the images in the gallery are also not cited within the text
 * The sources cited were mostly from the last 10 years, aside from a handful but I still felt those sources were reputable.
 * I think some areas of the article (mentioned in the first point here) need some information from peer reviewed articles, and not as much focus on solely wiki articles.
 * All the links I tried did work.

Organization:


 * The article flowed nicely in chronological order of the history of the bustle. I think once more information is added, it should be added on after the history because I felt like it was a good start to the article.

Images and media:


 * I thought the images provided were useful to understanding the bustle and how it looked.
 * The only thing I felt was missing was citations and maybe some more images of women wearing the bustles if possible to find!
