Bustle for Tulle Wedding Dress? Help!

Help! My wedding dress has an entirely tulle ball gown skirt with a train. It has a petticoat with more tulle underneath. The top layers are kind of scattered to have a draped effect. The problem is that I don't think I can dance at my reception without stepping on it or having it be stepped on by guests. I really, really do not want to buy another skirt for my reception, as this is my dream dress, and buying a new skirt is putting us over budget. However, I've heard it's near impossible to bustle a tulle skirt, especially one made in this particular way. And cutting the tulle is not an option. Please help! I do know some tutu seamstresses (I work in dance), but I don't know if they've ever tackled such a task. Anybody ever go through something similar? What did you end up doing? I've attached a few pics of the skirt, sorry for the blurriness! Any input would be great!

    My dress is toulle. The seamstress had no trouble showing me what a bustle would look like with the dress when I bought it. No worries.

    Thank you so so much for all your responses! I'm definitely taking your advice and taking it to a seamstress to see what they can do. I feel so much more at ease now. Thank you! And thank you for all the fabulous compliments on my skirt! Smiley smile Smiley smile Ya'll are an amazing bunch. Thanks again!

    I have a tulle skirt and they are doing an 11 point bustle. I didn't want anything hanging off my butt and they are just tucking it in. Here it is bustled.

    My dress is tulle and I don't have my dress yet but they were showing me how it would bustle when I bought it. It can be done.
