Wedding Gown Bustle

Hello! Does anyone know a seamstress in the DMV area that can bustle a heavy wedding dress? The dress is pretty heavy as its covered in beading/lace. I had my dress tailored but my seamstress said she could not bustle it or even add a wristband due to the weight. I took it to another seamstress to get a second opinion but she said the dress would end up ripping if its bustled. My wedding is a little over two weeks away so I am not sure if I should keep trying or just accept that I will have an un-bustled dress.

    I would say if 2 have said not to do it, then I wouldn't.

    Hi Elissa! I used Green and Blue Studio in Dupont Circle for my alterations. They were fantastic so it might be worth asking them as well!

    With two opinions, you may want to listen to them, but here are two recommendations of people to try:

    People love Tang's in manassas for all things alterations. I haven't used them, but I've seen a ton of recommendations for them.

    You could also try Diana, her email is *******@*****.***. She is based in Georgetown and Annandale and does custom dresses and alterations.
