1880 Fashion: Bustles & Corsets - What Did Maids Wear?

In 1880 bustles were still fairly popular while corsets were worn by both rich and poor. Bustles helped elongate the back of dress so the women's figure would look narrower at the waist and give it the illusion of longer curves while the corset narrowed women's natural waists by supporting and pulling muscles inward at the abdomen. So the answer is Yes.
