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:

ETA: As for why I chose it, I just really fell in love with how it looks in pictures. 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.

The 2 pics are from the Bustle Bio on the Knot and, according to the bride's bio, the dress is Demetrios Ilissa 767 in Silk White.

Re: How was/will your gown be bustled?

i am doing apron bustle - it is a split double french bustle - they showed it to me when i bought the dress

similar to the one posted but will be two small austrian bustles to the side a bit - allows you to the bottom of my dress well - i don't think it is a common bustle

Re: How was/will your gown be bustled?

I am doing the French bustle because the back of my dres is very simple and traditional bustle doesnt do anything for the dress it doesnt make it stand out.
