Visible bustle hooks

SOS! My wedding is less than 3 weeks away and when I went to my most recent fitting a couple of the hooks for the bustle were visible. It is a full tulle a-line skirt and to I could see two metal hooks on my left and right side. Is this typical? Am I overthinking how obvious they are? To me it looked like there was a bug caught in my skirt or something. Maybe this is just the only way with tulle :/

First of all... take a deep breath. Three weeks is way more than enough time to fix something that minor. Ask the seamstress to
remove the hooks and replace them with white ones. My dress has white hooks and eyes and you can’t see them at all. Save your anxiety for when you get closer to the wedding. I’m sure the dress is gorgeous.

Hi Megan! No worries, there's still time to make some changes! Depending on the style, you may see bustle hooks. Some bustles feature buttons and other have hooks such as yours. Are the metal hooks silver? Have you thought about getting them in white or ivory to match the color of your gown? This way if they are small hooks and a color that matches your gown they're less likely to be noticeable. Speak with your seamstress about your concerns and see what the other options are!

I thought the one I saw was silver but by MOH says they were white. But my dress is blush :/ I have another appointment tomorrow so I’ll definitely see what other options there are. Thank you!!
