I just got my wedding dress back from the final alterations appt and I'm a little confused. I guess I didn't realize that David's Bridal would sew buttons and thread to loop around the buttons onto the back of my dress for the bustle. The bustle looks GREAT when it's pinned, however, when the train is down, the 5 buttons they sewed on stand out a little more than I'd like. Is this normal? Is there anything else that would be less noticeable? I asked the alterations woman, and she said that was the only option and not to worry about it since the train will only be down during the ceremony (You know, when everyone will be staring at the back of my dress!!!)
I'm not sure if I'm over-reacting, but I am just so confused right now. Should I talk to other seamstresses and see if I can have the buttons taken out, or is this pretty standard?
