I've seen it said before.. Is this supposed to happen?!
Original post by lisam1113
I tried my dress on & picked it up tonight to bring it home & I've seen it said before but is this something that's supposed to really happen that I don't love my dress liked I used to When I bought it I had the chance to buy the one on the rack, but I didn't want to so the sales girl told me to order a size or 2 larger being other girls tried the dress on & stretched the sample one out. Mine of course came about a size or 2 too big & I turned it into a sweetheart neckline also. which is what I really wanted. The major problem I'm facing is that I was told was the train is too heavy to bustle it!!!! So she told me I had to HOLD IT for dancing & everything!! When I purchased it & when I dropped it off to be altered, I was told I could have it bustled & it was beautiful!!!! I feel like now I should go to Davids Bridal & get a $99 dress or any bridal store now & get a sample to change into for the reception! Sorry this is long I don't know what to do though!!!
Edited to add... if you didn't have a bustle, Did you hold your dress all night or let it go & fear someone would step on it or ruin it
I'm putting way too much thought & stress into this!!!

You should absolutely be able to bustle it. If you have to take it elsewhere...Helen's in Commack is awesome for alterations. They will DEFINITELY be able to bustle it for you.
To answer you other question, i have seen people hold it (not bustle it). Usually they put wrist loop under the dress and you can hook it on your wrist. But being that they are saying its too heave to bustle, i'm thinking you will not want to carry that weight on your wrist all night!
So yes.....someone has to bustle it for you!

That's total BS....listen, my dress was satin and my train was 11 feet long with beaded work and silver embroidery and it was bustled ALL night! I had 13 different hooks for it to bustle, but it bustled.
Go find another seamstress becasue that's total BS!
ITA go to another seamstress

Don't let the bustle get you down. Another seamstress can fix the problem.

That's where my mom got her dress & wanted to alter mine but mine was already being altered! I've seen similar dresses like mine there. There is the wristlet already underneath which is also for hanging the dress. It was beautiful when I saw it propped up to be bustled.. I'm definately keeping on top of everything because I NEED it bustled!!!
