Bracelet for the train vs. regular bustle?

I can't speak for 'experience' part of this post, but I think the type of bustle you choose will greatly depend on the style of your dress. For mine, I couldn't imagine having fabric hanging off of my wrist all night (satin mermaid with long train). Maybe try a mock trial run at your next appointment if it's possible!

Having a dress wrapped around my wrist all night would bug the heck out of me. To me, it's pretty but it just doesn't look comfortable.

I can’t imagine having to hold a dress up all night every time I stood up out of my chair. I did this during pictures before my dress was bustled and it was honestly a pain in the butt. Some people don’t mind it though.

That does sound pretty but I can’t imagine carrying that around all night. I would be afraid of moving my arm too much and ripping something.

Looks so pretty to do the "bracelet", but we are doing a choreographed dance for our first dance, so no way this would work for me. Have to get it tucked up and out of the way....LOL

I'm not a fan of the bracelet ones. I don't like having a bracelet on in general, much less dragging around my train the whole night on my wrist.

I think that totally depends on the dress. Hard to say without pics. But I do agree that some bustles aren't very attractive so I get where you're coming from.

Here's a picture of my dress for reference.

I would advise against the wristlets. My dress had one, but I didn't want to be bothered with lugging around so much extra weight. I have really small wrists, so that was a no-brainer for me.

Like everyone else says it sounds pretty but not practical.
