Bustling

vallsass

Does anyone have good pics of their bustle or know a good online resource where I could look at bustling options?  My mother is a seamstress and is doing all of my alterations on my dress, but we cannot decide on a style of bustle. We tried googling but still couldn't find much. Any suggestions? dress is Oleg Cassini CMB321Thanks!

Here's how mine looked - this was obviously taken when she was pinning it up so the dress is wrinkled and it doesn't look as good as when it was finished http://tinyurl.com/cmbuq6

my dress was a mermaid style with a layer of beaded lace over satin. my bustle was a 5 point under bustle, done with 5 pairs of ribbon ties between my top lace/chiffon layer and the bottom satin layer.here are some pics of it:http://i419.photobucket.com/albums/pp274/nvdmeulen/DSC00619.jpghttp://i419.photobucket.com/albums/pp274/nvdmeulen/backdress.jpghttp://i419.photobucket.com/albums/pp274/nvdmeulen/DSC00450.jpgPS: your dress is gorgeous!

My dress had a chapel length train and then it was bustled under the dress using 9 ties attached to the underside. This made it look like a ballgown when bustled, like there was no train at all. It takes a while to bustle this type of system because they have to be individually tied like a pulley system. However, the end result is great.

ky23jrc: Do you have any pictures of your bustle?

I had a pretty long train, and my seamstress did a French bustle. Here's how it looked from the side: [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3930931484_38eeed04e8.jpg[/img]

i'm also have a 9 point bustle, like ky23jrc.I had my first fitting last night and no one went with me, so i don't have pictures, but it's going to look something similar to this: (my dress is DB V9539.. so it is a pick up style dress)http://www.leanna.com/Bridal/bimages/French13.jpg

I used a three point bustle.  It worked like a charm.  Basically there were 6 sewn in loops that pulled through and then were tied inside.  This is a picture of it at the fitting.  I don't have the good pics back yet but it stayed secure all night- it was like the train wasn't even there.  [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h248/kvanscoyk/Weddingphotos027.jpg[/IMG]
