Show me your dress bustles!

Finally mrs.jkr, on August 20, 2014 at 3:53 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to bustle my dress since it has such a short train... but I dont want it dragging behind me 'cause I want to PAR-TAY!

    I don't have a pic on my computer, but I'll post the David's bridal link

    Mine's shorter than in the movement video because I have a ballgown slip under it, it's more like the pictures

    My train is just a sweep train, but there is a fair bit of volume in the skirt, so it make the bustle a bit more dramatic than I think it would have been otherwise. I really wanted a side-anchored bustle, but when my seamstress showed me this, I loved it!

    Futuremrsjkr-- it's also really simple-- just three buttons, and three loops, all on the outside, and its really clear which one matches up with which.

    I have a three point bustle with my sweep train. I cut off the chapel length which would have made my bustles more disguised (I would have preferred that over them being more visible)

    I am showing two pics

    -The first one I like the way the fabric is laying in this one more. I might have to ask my MOH to get the fabric to look like that.

    -The second pic is my shameless flaunt of my added sleeves I got custom made for my dress. (even though this is a bustle post lol) this is from my final fitting!

    Hey--sorry I just saw your question. I don't have one of mine, but here are two other brides in the ivory version of the dress with their trains down.

    Barbara, I'm sure I've said this before, but I'll say it again: your dress is so ethereally beautiful!

    Here was my dress, down and bustled.

    Thanks Barbara, I think you're train is still bigger than mine, so I may just need a 2 point similar to your design, (Your dress I absolutely loved and was my dream at one point, but then I realized that I wouldn't want that much of my back exposed, I think it's the sexiest part of me and I didn't want to blind all my guests with my back beauty... JK I just realized I didn't look best in that kind of dress Smiley tongue )
