Probably a stupid question....

But are most people planning on bustling their dress for the reception? Mine dress has a small train, but enough to bustle. I can't decide what to do with it?!?!? If so I was going to order a little seashell for the bustle. Is this something my seamstress is supposed to sew on or how does that work? Sorry, clueless about this. And completely forgot about it until now.

Re: Probably a stupid question....

  • The dress I'm thinking of getting now has a small train, so I will bussel it. I don't want to drag sand around! :-) I'm not sure about how you would attach a shell pendant, but if I were to guess, I think the pendant wouldn't hold all the fabric on its own. You could consider doing a 1 point bussel and put the pendant over that point?
  • My dress has a short train and I'm not planning on getting a bustle, mostly because I didn't want to pay to have on put in. I think (I'm not 100% sure) it's something that a seamstress puts in for you.
  • My seamstress is adding a bustle to my dress. I have a very small train but don't want it dragging around. It's costing me about $100 to do it.
  • Thanks for all of your help ladies!!
