Bustling Lace Ballgown with Scalloped Trim

And here’s not the model

I love it! Ballgowns are my favorite

I would look at a French bustle. I'm adding one and...total swoon.

I don’t want to share a pic of my dress for fear that my fiancé will see it but it’s a casa Blanca and the style is Angelique if you want to look it up it has a cathedral length train with a thick horsehair trim and lots of lace detailing on top of a full tulle skirt. I was worried like you but they told me that they can bring the train up using hook and eyes and attach them all along my waist. That will do at least 5 or so and it will basically look like the original dress without any train. This doesn’t seem to add as much volume to the butt area from what I’ve seen. I believe it’s called a ballroom bustle. I haven’t had mine done yet though. I found this link very helpful. https://www.weddingbee.com/blog/wedding-dress-bustles-5/

If you want to remove the train they can do it. They take apart the skirt at the waist and pull it up the length that way- they will untack the appliqué at the waist and wherever else they need to and then put them back on once the length is how you want it

You're dress is gorgeous! Sorry I'm not much help on what to do about bustling your dress.

I wouldn’t stress too much over the bustle. Your seamstress should be able to show you a few great options for a bustle. Ball gowns have so many bustle options! I have a sheath style dress with a train and scalloped edge and my bustle turned out great.
