Re: french bustle

I had one and I was not tripping over my dress at all.

Re: french bustle

The point of the bustle is to NOT trip over your train. Mine worked great, I didn't have any problems dancing or walking around in my gown.

This is the only pic I have of it right now... but I'll post a better one later...

Re: french bustle

I had wanted a french bustle, but it just didn't look right with the style of my gown, so I went with a traditional bustle.

I had a double french bustle and had no problems with it.

Here is a tip: Have your seamstress color-code the thread/buttons (it's all underneath and won't be seen anyway). This will help whoever has the daunting task of correctly bustling your dress for you.

Re: french bustle

My dress was so slim fitting that the French bustle was the only style I could use on my dress without having it look bad! :) I absolutely loved it, it was so cute the way everything just looked so tucked in and neat! here's a couple of pics

I had the same bustle as you and you are so right!! It should be color coded. I loved the way this bustle looked and I had no problems with the dress but I will tell you that my sister and friend and also the girl assighned to me had a hard time bustling it and I walked into my reception 15 minutes late because of it.
That was my thing that went wrong that day.
I don't regret the bustle but I do think that the color code idea is wonderful and wish I had done that.

My seamstress numbered the ribbons so it was easy. You just had to tie ribbon #1 with the other ribbon #1, etc.

This is what mine did as well.

Re: french bustle

Thank you so much for letting me know and i love the french bustle it is very pretty. It is cause my dress has flowers on the back so they want to show them
