Ugly Bustle

I love my dress but I think the bustle is hideous. I got it altered at the same store I purchased it from, and just viewed the bustle at my second fitting yesterday. The seamstress had told me there was only 1 way to bustle it and this is what she proceeded to do. My dress is a sheath dress and...

I love my dress but I think the bustle is hideous. I got it altered at the same store I purchased it from, and just viewed the bustle at my second fitting yesterday. The seamstress had told me there was only 1 way to bustle it and this is what she proceeded to do. My dress is a sheath dress and quite fitted, so I think the massive gathering up of fabric in a uniform pattern around my back thighs looks ridiculous. What do you think? Is there another more elegant and flattering way to bustle this dress? Does anyone know if the bustle can be changed or if I am locked into this style (I just had my second fitting).

Thank you!

    The dress is gorgeous, you are gorgeous in it, and I don't think it looks bad at all. I'm sure its just weird to you. I actually LIKE the way its bustled. Way better than the French bustle and the other one posted. That being said, I get it. I actually hate bustles so much I chose not to bustle mine and just walked around all evening being careful and with my train and cathedral veil trailing. It was fine. My dress didn't get nasty and nothing was damaged. But we didn't dance, so theres that.

    Full Disclosure - I personally hate busstles so much I had the train of my dress removed.

    I would not drag the dress around all night. Ask about a french bustle. But honestly it looks as fine as a bustle can - its a lot of extra fabric - it has to go somewhere. Your dress is gorgeous!
