Trying to decide on a bustle (PIP)

littleluckypenny

Need your help ladies!  I can't decide which bustle style I like best.  Help me out please?  Don't mind that the dress is crushed

Option 1 (multple levels)



Option 2 (one lower level)



Option 3 (at my butt )

Jean6912

I would go with option 2 or 3, but I'm leaning more towards option 3 I like the way it looks best.

Zimsgirl

I like #3. It's similar to mine and I like it

amonis

I like #3. I think it looks the best.

daria24

3 definitely.

acaponi87

Butt!

rikkidawn28

I would say 3 also!

caitlintaylor07

The butt!! It's flattering on you!

I'm going to my first fitting this morning and didn't realize there were so many options for bustles.  UGH.  Another decision I have to make?!?

Pixieliddle23

Definitely 3!  To be honest I'm not a fan of the french style bustle.  My seamstress tried that one out on my dress and it did not look good at all.  My bustle is like the third picture.  I think it looks much for flattering for the dress and you!!

I'm jumping on the #3 band wagon 

melntaitt

I 3! It really suits you!

midgetthemighty

#3 looks flat out amazing on you and your dress!

peachykeen26

I would go with three.

If you don't you will just have those loops showing on your train. They are noticeable. JMHO.

Mine is at my butt then I have two clear snaps to snap it to the sides because I have a cathedral train and I'm too short.

ryaneann

I got your #3 and I love it!  Looks the best on you as well!

kelsey+brandon

I feel like I'm always the odd one out on these, but I vote for #2! I love a French bustle!!

KrisKenny

I like #3 the best as well.

melfacto

I actually like 1 or 2 also the best! I'm with Kelsey huge fan of the french bustle! Number 3 just looks like the train was picked up and clipped to your butt! Ek! Of course have to be different, but really what one are you most comfortable moving / dancing in?

MMCBRIDE4

I think 3 looks the best, then number 2 would be my second choice. What does the front of the dress look like though, because you want to make sure that everythings flows toegther.

chelseakopperud

I like 2 and 3.

LindsayM22

I like 2 the best, but I love French bustles!

I'm with Kelsey.  Mine is very similar to #1, a lot of layers

I like 2 the best and then 1. But Peachy makes a good point about the loops. I do not like the butt bustle. But (lol) I may have to go with this option as well:/ 

G2SoccerTaz

I would do number 3. Mine will be like that plus two on the sides. The train has amazing beadwork. By doing it this way it shows off the detail. Maybe see what it looks like to add clips/snaps to either side to make it a 3 point

littleluckypenny

Thanks for all the input ladies!  When my seamstress did the third option, I really liked that one as well, but then started to second-guess myself.  Even more so when I asked my FMIL for her input and she picked option 2 and gave a long list of reasons why she didn't like option 3.  Then one of BM said she liked option 1 best  

Since the majority says option 3, I'm definitely leaning towards that one.  I don't have a front pic of me in the dress, but here is the stock photo of the dress:

I think three would look best.  Do what you love most!

I definitely like #3 best.  I don't even know how I'd describe my bustle, I think there's 5 different points that it bustles at because its a poofy dress with a Cathedral train.... ridiculous.  I'm contemplating wearing a diaper so I don't have to attempt the bathroom hahaha.

J/k....

caiti2u

I'll be one of the odd ones out... I actually like #1 the best. But yeah, mine's in a french bustle

MMRoberts11

I like 2 and 3 best.  To me, 1 looks odd to me.  I think it just might be that the multilevel ends are not straight so it looks like it was just thrown together.

Danidawn20

I'm late... but I say #3

paigejessica

I like #1 the best
