Alfred Angelo Disney...alterations HELP!!

futuremrsashleymartin

So I've bought "THE" dress already.  It is the Alfred Angelo Cinderella Style 205.  I am wondering how you all have seen it altered (or maybe similar dresses).  I am most likely going to have buttons added on the back where the zipper is, with loops so that the zipper will be hidden.  I am going to have to have a bustle added in, also.  But I have NO idea what type of bustle would look good on a huge tulle ballgown with an empire waist.

Anyone have any ideas about how to bustle the train?  
Also, anyone have a bra sewn into this dress (or would a regular bra be ideal)?

Please send pictures if this was your dress (it makes me so excited to see others in such a beautiful dress!!)

Love this link for bustle ideas! However, you should consult a seamstress to get her ideas on a bustle for your specific dress since it is multi-layer tulle.

As for bra, you could get away with a regular bra on this one. But it is all about what you feel more comfortable with. I feel that a regular bra might offer more support.

My friend has a tulle bottom dress for her wedding as well.  What the seamstress did was put in a french bustle to the satin underlayer and then did a multi-point bustle over bustle (I think she has 8 points) to the tulle.

As for the bra/cups, it really depends on what you are most comfortable with.  If you don't want to deal with another layer under your dress then have cups sewn in.

Thanks for the ideas, ladies! I will look into that specific type of bustle.

I'm watching this one closely because I have the same dress and the same issue with the bustle. I'm surprised that there aren't many photos of this dress bustled, I would have thought there'd have been more. I'm going to search flickr I guess.

As for the bust issue...I'm like an H cup, so....yeah, I've no idea on that one yet. I'll probably end up getting a strapless bra, or a corset or something.

I also have this Cinderella dress and my wedding is in two weeks and have no idea how to bustle it! I didn't think to even ask the bridal salon and they are now several hours away. I also don't need it altered in anyway, but every website talks about the seamstress adding it. Did you find a solution with this dress?!

Where are you having it altered? I found Alfred Angelo's prices (if you are buying it at an Alfred Angelo salon) to be super affordable. I was surprised.
