I have purchased this derss from David's Bridal but am not sure how to bustle it, and the alterations woman is a bit of a pain (sorry that I don't know everything about sewing!!). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to bustle it? Or has anyone wore it and already had it bustled that would have a pic of it bustled?
Re: How are you bustling you Galina WG3086 from DB
This site has some photos of dresses bustled in a few different ways: http://www.leanna.com/Bustle/Bustles.htm
Gorgeous dress, by the way!
The way my dress is bustled, there are small loops on the train and satin-covered buttons that the loops attach to. They're not hidden, but you'd have to be looking pretty hard to actually see them!
I'm sure you and your seamstress will be able to work something out, or you could take your dress to another seamstress for a consultation to see if they could come up with a solution. I've heard that alterations at DB are usually more expensive, but I wonder if their seamstresses would know how to bustle this particular gown since they sell it. In your case, it might be worth the extra $ to go there.
good luck!
i have a different galina dress from DB and thats the only sort of bustle that didn't look funky
