i know nothing about wedding dresses but i do know that i've seen girls that had a bustle that looked big over their butt - like it was poofy by the butt and very full and then it falls nicely, so it adds fullness to an a-line dress in the back and a little on the sides. does anyone know what i'm talking about? because thats what i want and i don't know what its called, and i think i'd like to wear it like that the entire time - even for the ceremony....i want to start dress shopping so i need to learn all the terms! lol....please help me! i am dress illiterate!

That's a french. They pull it up from the inside instead of the outside.

No problem. Once you start seeing the pictures over and over you'll know exactly how you want it and what it's called. But yeah, it can get confusing! btw, Congrats on picking your official date!!

lol i felt like an *** last night! lol when i layed dow for bed i was thinking about the bustle and said to myself 'duh!!! I saw dresses that bustles in all different ways!!!' lol i must have sounded like an idiot posting last night !!! ha!

---

seriously, i don't think anyone sounds like an idiot when they ask wedding questions. there is just so much info to take in that even though we might know the answer, it's hidden somewhere in our brains.

i always feel bad when girls post topics like 'Stupid Question'

there is alot of wedding stuff that i am clueless about - thank god i found these boards or else i'd be in big trouble!

i'm not that much of a girly girl and i don't know that much about dresses, or flowers, or wedding planning!! but doing this stuff is def exciting and fun.

angl2001 i love the back of your dress, its beautiful!

i got a dress that has a removable train so that i didnt have to bustle it.
