Standard Bustle or Finger Loop? Or both?

If you do choose to do a wrist loop, I would do a bustle as well. You're probably going to get tired of carrying your train around all night.

Personally I prefer a bustle. The finger loop just seems so awkward. However if you want it just for the dramatic effect e.g grand entrance, you can have the finger loop there and then have someone bustle you up afterwards, so you can dance more freely.

I love both of your dresses, but prefer the first one. Another thing I have seen ladies talk about was the off the shoulder sleeves getting in the way of dancing.

I like dress 1 better (it feels more "Disney" to me) - not that the opinion of a stranger on the internet counts for much lol.

Caytlyn's right - that train is probably going to get heavy - sooner than later - and if you think of classic princesses (Cinderella, Aurora, etc.) they're generally holding the side of the skirt, as it doesn't have a train. If you do a bustle as well as a loop, then you can decide what you want on the day of.

Hi Alyssa!! Have you thought some more about what type of bustle you would like?

I love love love the top dress!!! I would do both because you may get tired of carrying it around

Thank you! This looks amazing! I'm thinking about having the seamstress add both now
