Re: Question for you ladies who had ballgowns

My ball gown had a semi-cathedral train, I my bustle had 4 buttons initially. I had her add two during my last fitting, b/c I was very paranoid that it wouldn't hold. I ended up with six altogether.

Re: Question for you ladies who had ballgowns

Mine only had 3, and guess what? It didn't stay up!!! Thank goodness for my fabulous bridal attendant at the Carlyle!!!!!

Re: Question for you ladies who had ballgowns

I had buttons going half way around the bottom/back of the dress. The train was not long and went under the dress. There were many of them and it stayed up all night

Re: Question for you ladies who had ballgowns

I had a very full gown, with a chapel length train that had buttons all the way down it. But what was amazing was the bustle was done with one button!! It was amazing and it stayed up the entire afternoon. The bustle was done in such a way so that you could see the buttons on the train even while it was up.

Re: Question for you ladies who had ballgowns

I had a full cathedral length train that bustled under to a full ball gown with 6 ribbons. It stayed up all night but the seamstress said she would never do it again because it was so difficult to do.

Re: Question for you ladies who had ballgowns

I had a french bustle w/16 buttons...what a pain in the a$$!! It was beautiful though(once we got it up!)
