A friend had made a quick “down and dirty” butt pad for me. It needed repairs and it was very plain.
I also needed a roll for my 1830’s dress but really didn’t want yet another thing to store. So I fixed the pad. Then I added lace, ribbons and loops. It can be worn as a pad like this.
If you untie the ribbons and retie them to the loops you get a roll like this.
