Im a demetrios bride and they said to do the bussle (add buttons) it would cost $150!! Is this normal? And is it normal for it not to come with buttons?

    My dress didn't come with a bussle and my best friend just got married in January and hers didn't come with a bussle either. My suggestion would be to go to an outside seamstress because $150 seems pretty steep. A lot of girls on here rave about Reina, so I'm sure one of them can give you her number.

    Dresses don't come with bustles, it is something that a seamstress has to do for you.

    ok great thanks. i just spoke to one of my friends who got married last year and she said hers came with a bussle and thought for sure that $150 was very expensive.
    thanks ladies :)

    Generally they don't come with a bustle because there are many different kinds and it is really up to a bride's preference.

    Mine didnt come with a bustle. But I will only be paying $85.00 for my bustle. I think $150 is a bit much.

    $150 is outrageous for just a bustle! And the majority of dresses don't come with them! If you're in Broward, definitely check out Reina! She is AMAZING!!!!

    i paid $200, that included the bustle and all the alterations  in which the dress had to be taken in and hemmed.  I dont think that's bad.  $200 just for the bustle, bad, but not including everything else.  I got it done at Brides of America where i got my dress, and they're holding onto it too for me until right before the wedding so it'll be steamed and everything right before.
