Fulll view -

For me we had to try like a gazillion different bustles styles 'til we found one that looked nice and held the dress properly and securely.

I've got to say, bustles are really funny looking! I like the way the dresses look without them - mine included!

I just had a regular hemline bustle (not sure what it's called).

minniebride - me too. that's why I was flipping out when the bridal attendant bustled my dress and it was the wrong bustle. she fixed it so it looked like this instead.

Re: Post pics of your bustle

Does anyone know of any websites where you can find pictures of all types of bustles?

ssdare... did your sister happen to get her dress at Kleinfelds? Because her seamstress looks awefully familiar (she looks like my seamstress...)

I know, I know! This long, beautiful train - and you have to scrunch it up the majority of the time you're wearing it You looked beautiful though!

That's why I'm happy I went detachable!

I do think some of them look very pretty however.

Edit:

Snook, that is Kleinfelds! I recognize the carpet. Who is your seamstress?

LisaT...were you happy with your dress being bustled under? It sounds very interesting. The place I got my dress didn't mention that as an option and your bustle from your picture looks great.

metphan very nice

Re: Post pics of your bustle

yes, I was very happy with it. My dress is gathered down the back and I loved that effect - I would have hated to cover it up with the train.

Its funny, but I loved my bustle. I was so excited when the seamstress pinned it up that it didn't ruin the lines of the dress and just enhanced the look.

its called a french bustle - some of the other pictures are french as well, but they're above the hemline.

I didn't have a very long train:

Re: Post pics of your bustle

I cut mine off!!!

and I was so happy...I didn't really want a train anyway...but the dress I found had one...so off it went...it was so light to dance with and freeing...

Re: Post pics of your bustle

I had posted pics of my dress if you want to check out that post and see my bustle. I think it's called 'I met my dress come see'.

Chloegirl Posted: Mar 04, 2003 04:01 PM

Re: Post pics of your bustle

Thanks for the info. I am debating whether to cut the train off. It is pretty small and I like the way it looks for pics. But I don't know if I like the way the bustle looks. I cant believe it cost more to cut it off than it does to make a bustle.
