How should I bustle my dress?

Hi everyone! 

I'm not quite sure how to bustle my dress. Can you give me some suggestions on what you think might look nice? Right now the plan is for me to hold the train with a wrist strap, but I REALLY don't want to have to do that all night. :) 

Here is my dress:

Thank you!

  • That's a gorgeous dress! Go to your seamstress and have her show you what an American (over the top) or French (under the bottom) bustle would look like. I personally prefer the look of the French bustle, but have her show you both ways.
  • Since the dress doesn't have any embellishment on the skirt, it will be easier to hide the fasteners for the bustle on the underside of the skirt. But talk to your seamstress as she can give you ask your options.
  • I agree about a French bustle.  I had an train similar to yours - sweep style, no embellishment - and I loved the way the French bustle wound of laying.  A good seamstress will be able to show you your opinions and probably make a recommendation.
