Forgot how to bustle up the dress

KimberBinky

Help! My wedding is in a few weeks, and I've completely forgotten how to bustle up my dress. It's from David's Bridal, and it's an Oleg Cassini.http://www.davidsbridal.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplayView?storeId=10052&catalogId=10051&categoryId=-49978998&currentIdx=11&subCategory=-49999486|-49998984|-49978998&catentryId=6096838&sort=It has a series of one loop and several bands of fabric fasten and two points on either side of the centerline on the underside of the short train. Has anyone else had a bustle style like this, and how did they go about working all these loops and straps?

i am guessing the ribbons aren't color-coded?  this is easiest with the dress on, so if you can try it on, do so, or hang and have a friend help you puff it out from the back.  locate every loop and ribbon and find the middle one.  tie the middle, and work your way out.

Can you just call the seamstress that put the bustle in?Maybe they can show you how to do it again.
