Bustling a chiffon gown?

bigvoice3 · November 2009

So my wedding dress came in! I can't go get it until Thanksgiving, but I am going to have my bustle put in while I'm home over break too. How do you bustle a chiffon gown? It just needs a small bustle so I don't trip while I walk and dance at the reception. My dress is in my bio under attire. Any pics of chiffon bustles to show me?

I would just talk to your seamstress about possible bustles for your gown. This website is pretty comprehensive and gives you an idea of what type of bustles may work for you:http://www.leanna.com/Bridal/Bustles.htm

silk chiffon? If it's lined with silk, see my bio

My dress had two layers. The top is chiffon and I can't remember the bottom but it looks like it might be a little heavier than yours. They had to do seperate bustles for each layer, the bottom was an under bustle and the top and over bustle. Bottom: The finished product:

dittto carebear. my under layer was bustled like hers was and then the top was bustled as you can see in my pics.

(mine was silk organza, but it's a similar look so i think my feedback is valid!)

My seamstress made and over-bustle, but an under bustle would have worked just as well, too. I don't have a picture that is great because I also had "tails" that needed bustled.
