Late 18th century quilted rump

Ever since Kendra posted her fantastic article about late 18th century skirt supports I have wanted to try out the number 3. My version is basically a roughly guilted thick layer of wool between linen layers, pleated and whip stitched in to a linen waistband. It might be ugly, but I really like the effect it has on my skirt shape. (It's a little fuller on me than on the very narrow hipped dress form.)
