How was/will your gown be bustled?

Just curious. For my dress I really like the traditional bustle, but everyone is saying french is the newest thing...

This is what I'm going for. I think it is called an Austrian bustle:

I'm not sure what kind of bustle I'd do with your dress though since you have a lot of detail in the back that you probably want people to see. My dress is really simple in the back so I felt comfortable going with a more complicated bustle.

Honestly you need to see both on your dress and decide which looks best - I wanted a double french bustle - and i had the seamstress do both on mine (meaning show me what it would look like) and it didnt look good on the dress. So i went with french.
