Bustle or No Bustle

I am torn on whether or not to bustle my dress. It is a sweep train, so the train is pretty short. My seamstress said I could go without one, since the dress will end up getting dirty whether it is bustled or not. I can move around just fine without the bustle, the sweep train isn't in the way. Just wondering everyone's thoughts, what are you doing?

    I would still bustle it, if only because people stepping on your dress will get freaking annoying. Especially if you plan on dancing.

    I agree on bustling it. You don't want anyone stepping on it or trip over it.

    Teambustle I would be terrified that someone would step on it, I wouldn't realise it, and I would tear my dress.

    Like PPs said, bustle because it might get stepped on during dinner or on the dance floor.

    I like it bustled. Maybe not that bustle, but defiantly a bustle of some sort

    It'll definitely get stepped on if you don't bustle it.

    I would bustle it. I had the same type of train on my dress and the seamstress was trying to talk me into leaving it because I needed to look more like a "bride." wth. Every time I stepped back or to the side I would step on it. I couldn't imagine dancing in it. I had her shorten it pretty severely. It's only about 3 inches longer in the back now than the front. Oh, and it still looks like a wedding dress Smiley smile

    BUSTLE! Even with my bustle, people somehow managed to step on my dress lol. I can't imagine what it would have been like without.

    A bustle is helpful even with a sweep train Smiley smile My dress has a chapel train so I am definitely going the bustle route

    I would bustle it anyway. I can just picture someone stepping on it and ripping it or something...

    As PP have said, bustle so people don't step on it. It isn't a long train, but it WILL get stepped on if you don't bustle it.

    Definitely bustle it, but I wouldn't go with the bustle you have a picture of. It looks kinda off.

    Bustle. You don't want someone ripping your dress.

    Bustle. Might ask if they have any alternative bustle other than the ones they showed you. I know its common to bustle at top of the butt but I like mine lower so as not to distract from the dress. (Or make it look like I have a huge poofy butt.)

    Thank you all for the advice! I think I will bustle it and maybe ask the seamstress for a different kind of bustle so it isn't so noticeable Smiley smile
