Lets Discuss... BUSTLES! *

My only requirement was 'nothing that looks like it's coming out of my butt'

i actually don't think my bustle fits into any of the above... when i have pics i'll post. mine has 7 small bustle points at the very bottom, so it almost doesn't look bustled at all - more 'gathered' at the bottom.

I have no idea how I will bustle this.... =\

Don't forget the The Sash Gown Bustle

LOL how is that for timing!!!!

Posting at the same time as you Jennifer! I didn't even see your post.

Fabulous timing Hayley!! I've never seen a bustle for sashes! WOW that's gorgeous!!!!

Do you think you can do the Austrian with a mermaid gown? I didn't even think about different bustles! Thanks so much for posting this.

One more thing to think about!!

Thanks, this is really helpful! I hadn't thought about it either. I really like the under bustle.

Damnit...I knew Hayley was psychic!!!!

I am doing an under bustle because my dress is a ball gown that already has peices of it kind of tucked under, so it just looks like the same theme throughout. My seamstress suggested that, I originally had only thought of the over the top bustle.

@ Tammy, you also need to think about cost and how difficult it will be for you MOH... I bet the Austrian is a complicated.

Kimi is dead on... go in with images of how you like the back of the dress to look, and they will keep pinning up ideas showing you options until you find one you like.

Be sure to ask them the PRICE as they are doing this.

A 7 point under bustle costs more than an 3 point under bustle.

I think mine was a 5 point under. Kinda like Jennifer N - it made sense because there already was some material to tuck it under.

* seriously Jennifer - I was in shock too to see my comment right under yours *

@Tammy, it would be VERY difficult to do the Austrian bustle on a mermaid type gown. You may have little to no movement. It works best on a ball gown since there's so much fabric. I'm sure if you bring pictures your seamstress can work with you to figure out what would be the best.

Hayley is right on about the price ;o)

My dress has no train so no bustle for me....and I couldn't be happier. That was one detail I totally didn't want to deal with.

I love this subject!!!!! Julie - If your lace overlay is significantly longer than the satin underlayer you should bustle them separately. This gown has a ballroom bustle on the satin layer, and a custom designed bustle on the lace layer

Christine, do you have any pictures you could share to get a visual? I had a difficult time trying to hunt one down.

Kimi K - just added pics to above post. I have tons of pictures if anyone would like me to post a picture of something specific.

Maggie Sottero gown with ballroom bustle

This is something i'll have to decide too

I agree with RWC though. I want nothing that looks like it is coming out of my butt lol

@RWC would love to see pics of what your referring to!

My dress is the same as Tach

My dress is going to be immposible to bustle lol

Haha Jaclyn & RWC, I don't think any bride wants to look as if she's pooping out wedding dress.

@Jess, I love the front of your dress. You'll have to share what your bustle will look like! maybe a 7point under? That way the cascade look wouldn't change? (similiar to what haley posted with the sash ribbon??)

Yea, I have no idea what they are going to do. I will post tons of pictures after though They did a one point when I tried it on but that was horrible
