Had my final fitting today...and I HATE the bustle!!

The dress is beautiful I could see what u don't like sry no helpful advice hug

Is that a "french bustle" where it bustles under like that? Honestly, I don't care for that style of bustle in general. I knew I wanted a standard bustle, where the extra fabric comes up in the back to bustle in a point near your bottom.

Didn't they give you any options for bustle styles, or an idea of how it would look before they completed it?

Ok, I know nothing about bustles because I don't have one, but there has got to be a better way! Can you take it to another seamstress to see if they can do it better? I don't blame you, that doesn't look good and I wouldn't be happy with it either, but I just don't believe that's the only way to do it! Get a second opinion before you give up on it.

Totally agree can't you tell your seamstress that you don't like the bustle??

I dont know where else to take...

I told them I didnt like it, but the only bustle availabe!!!

Im just over it and I hate it!!!

Im just going to have the dress on for the ceremony and pictures and change to the reception dress, which makes me feel comfortable!

Instead of using the bustle you might be able to put a strap on the trane and have it attached to your wrist. I wouldn't want mine bustled like that either. So sorry you have to deal with this. hugs from me too

You should be able to tell them that you don't like it. Could you have it changed to the standard bustle? I think that would go better with the line of the dress.

I can't believe they can't bustle it in another style! There are MANY more options. But, I hate bustles in general. I think they are typically ugly. My dress thank god when bustled has so many ruffles it fades into it.

With ALL that said, usually there are local seamstresses, start asking around. And in the meantime, here is a list of several different types of bustles, and pictures to go with!

I just got off the phone with the store and complaint...

I was so not happy with this, I had no words...funny because usually I talk back until I get what I want...I only said it looked weird!!

They are going to try the standard bustle this time...hopefully it will look better!!

I refuse to wear this!

Gorgeous gown! If your wedding is indoors, I personally would rather deal with it dragging it around and cleaning afterwards. If it's not, that sucks because that's not a very decent bustle. Stick to the idea of the reception dress change in case you can't find someone who can do a better job. <3

OMG Shannah...thank you so much, there is one here that I actually like.

Im gonna save it and take it with me!!

The lady was really nice and told me to go back...

I really hope it works this time!!

I think the austrian bustle looks great, but I'm not sure if all bustle types will work on all dresses, but you can give them an idea of how you would like it to work. I wish you the best of luck!

I was terrified when I found a dress I liked, but it had a train! So I found that link a while ago!

Hello - Hope I can help. The underbustle is NOT the only way to bustle your dress. They can do a pinch bustle where there are little pinches here and there on the train to make it shorter. They can do a pick up bustle which is a french bustle only done in many layers. Your dress can have an overbustle - yes your train is long but they can put the overbustle up in two or more layers. I will try to post some example links. I used to be an alterations training manager for DB, so I should know.

Shannah - I actually think that the One-Point Overbustle or Three Point Over-Bustle is what I need...Thank you soo much, I see a light now!

You were so helpful! I was miserable all day today thinking about this bustle

Hope they can do something about it...or Im changing right after the ceremony!!

Christine - YES!! PLEASE!!

I would really appreciate it...I feel like I only want ppl to see the front of my dress, nothing else!! hate ittttt!

Your train is very heavy - so one point won't hold the weight. However they can put the center up to three buttons and then put two more over top of it. Plus you will need something toward the side because the sides will be too long. You can do a combination of overbustle in the center and then underbustle points to the side.

Christine - That is exactly how I want it!!! I will show this to the seamstress...I will look much better, this bustle I have is so ridiculous!! Still not overrr it!!

YIKES! I can totally understand why you don't like it! I have a long train too but my seamstress did a 3-point over bustle and it looks awesome - especially since with the over bustle you can still see all the beautiful detail which would be totally hidden with an under-bustle like what they did for yours.

So glad they are having you come back and that thanks to @Christine you have pics you can show them. Be sure to post a pic of what it looks like with a different bustle!

Hi Ana!

Wow - I totally understand you're NOT being over this, I would have had a fit!

I'm glad the ladies helped you find a solution! Hope it works well for you and I'm crossing my fingers for you!

Im so glad I still have hope for it now...I was so sad!! Linda, I'll post the new pictures
