33 pts on my dress. Omg. It was such a hassle, and I was basically pushed into getting it. At David's, they put it up and asked me if I wanted it, I liked it, then they told me how much it was and I almost had a heart attack. So I told them no, and they basically told me they didn't have time to take it all down and I had to make a decision right then and there because their next client was there.
So I ended up paying $550 for the 33 bustles (and slight work on the top to make it closer to my shoulders.) And then for the wedding, it was such a huge hassle - we only bustled half of them. Such a waste.
Mine was a 9 point. When I first went they said a 5 point I I love it because it showed all the detail but then they switched it to a 9 point and wouldn't budge on it.
I had 11 points, my sisters both went to my fitting to learn how and bustled that sucker in like a minute after the ceremony the day of. Our coordinator was so impressed.
OMG...my seamstress and I decided I only need one. My dress doesn't have a long train. I'm a little worried now that I'm not going with more. It was beautiful when she pinned it up. As long as it's strong enough to stay in place, I'll be happy.
I think mine is the same as yours! I hate bustles asked her to make something that didn't look like it was coming out of my ass. She did a wonderful job!
