Cut Dress or Get Bustle?

Hey everyone. So I didn't expect to already have a dress but it came in SUPER early! I am picking it up in a few days. I'm questioning if I should have it cut to one length or bustle it..... It has a tiny little train which I'm not sold on. I'm getting married outside and the reception is in a barn....

Hey everyone. So I didn't expect to already have a dress but it came in SUPER early! I am picking it up in a few days. I'm questioning if I should have it cut to one length or bustle it..... It has a tiny little train which I'm not sold on. I'm getting married outside and the reception is in a barn. I want to be able to dance my heart out so I have to do something. The only bustle I liked that the alterations department showed me was actually a bustle that goes underneath it to make it look like it's one length. That just happens to be the most expensive option. Not sure. Thoughts?

ETA: Stock Davids Bridal photo of back. I didn't have a pic of me in it of the back.

    @Mrs. Sullivan I don't have my notes on me, but I think it was $50 for the first 3 points and $10 for each point after that. My total came out to $130, just for the bustle. I also had 3 buttons to choose from, pictures below. I went with the buttons in the 2nd pic.

    BUSTLE.

    The flowy train is just so bridal and will make you that much more stunning.

    Team Bustle! I have always believed it made the dress look a bit more feminine and elegant! Also, I have heard that DB is way more expensive than most other private alteration shops!

    For me personally I think it looks silly when clothing drags on the ground, and I also value being able to move freely, so obviously I am not a fan of trains. I say cut it unless you are specifically attached to the extra fabric.

    I didn't think I liked the way bustles looked, but honestly, my love of the train in photos was stronger than my dislike of the bustle. It ended up really not being noticeable unless you're specifically looking to see what the bustle looks like.
