I am confused about the different kinds of bustles. Can anyone explain to me what kinds the are. and what kind is best for a train that has a lot of detail. I think french is one but not sure. below is the back of my dress. Thanks for any help you can give!
ofcourse it seems you can't see the very bottom of the train in this pic, but it has beautiful detailing.
when you go to get alterations they should be able to tell you which bustle will be best or show you a choice of a few that will work for you

Re: Confused about bustles!
looks like you need a under bustle so your detail on the bottom shows. Your seamstress will show you what will work best for you.

Re: Confused about bustles!
I had a lot of detail on my train and everyone at the bridal salon was telling me to get a standard bustle so you can see most of the detail but I HATED the way it looked. I went with a French bustle even though it didn't showcase the beadwork on the train but sometimes you just have to go with what looks better on you. I had a mermaid cut and I think the French bustle looks much better.
To give you an example, this is the standard bustle they showed me. You can see the beadwork but I just looked so plain to me.
This is the French bustle. I it!! It's perfect for my dress.

Re: Confused about bustles!
My train has a lot of beading in the train and my seamstress did a standard bustle. One loop and it shows all of the beadwork. I hated the French Bustle on my gown, plus it was too confusing. When you go get it altered they will show you the different bustles, just tell them which one you like better.
