My wedding is in 2 weeks and I am having trouble with my bustle. My train is very long, I am wearing a pronovias dress called frase. My seamstress made a ton of pick ups for the bustle and it looks terrible! Any suggestions on how to bustle a very long train? I am also short, which doesn't help!

Re: Dress bustle trouble! Pronovias frase
You might have to go to another seamstress to help with changing the bustle, as I can only imagine how complicated they can make one especially for a long train. I'd recommend Alterations Unlimited by Gina in Deer Park. She as the best to work with and she can work magic with a bustle. I've had bridesmaids dresses done there, and my friend went with her wedding dress and a complicated bustle and loved it. She's at 516-528-1844 (her mobile). Good luck!
Forgot to mention that she has extremelly quick turnaround so if you need it in less than 2 weeks she'd definetly have it done for you.

If that is the only option that your seamstress is advising, then the only thing I would suggest is to meet another seamstress and see if they're able to provide something different. I had a long train which they made a 10 point bustle for, and it was perfect. When pinned up the train met the front hem.

Thanks! I live near Deer Park so I could look into that. The store where I got my dress included the alterations, but it may be time to try someone new.

Even if you have to spend a little more money, you want to be happy on your day, and it looks like they're not making you happy. I know you can definetly talk to Gina with no obligations, just so she can give you other options/ideas. I know you won't be disappointed with her work.
