This comment is a flame. The words you cite exist in early 19th century dictionaries, (and 18th century). Bustier means camisole, bustle is padding, used for centuries, ( and hoops figure largely throughout the book) sausages go back for many centuries, and "Bicycles had existed for decades, before some late-1860s models had shapes similar to modern-day bicycles, but they were made of iron and wood." If you are aware, the internet is powerful if you know how to use it. All historical documents do not yet exist online... This book was referenced from primary sources, will report flame.
