About the Piece

This lovely Dame Lorraine boasts a literal heart shaped derriere as she walks away.
In general, the costume consists of an ankle length, flowing dress with exaggerated stuffed breasts and buttocks. The masquerader - often wearing a broad hat and carrying a fan and an umbrella - would walk and shake these body parts in a comical manner to mock the well dressed ladies of the French Aristocracy of the late 18th and 18th centuries.
