Can you please post pictures of bustles? I can't find many anywhere online. I think I want one that buttons underneath, so all the detail in the back shows. Thanks!
ETA: I found some bustle pics here , but none like what I have in mind.

I'm looking for ya!! I think I know what you want -- the kind of bustle that tucks the train completely underneath the skirt?

Search for an inverted bustle - that's the bustle you seem to be describing.

Yes, exactly that type! I will try to post a pic of the back of my dress. Do you think that kind would work?
i had an inverted bustle, but i just found out my online album expired, so i don't have any pictures...

Found this on some seamstress's web site: 'A French Bustle is often called an Underbustle because it hooks up under the skirt. It's a great option for situations like this gown where all of the train decoration is right below the waist area. An overbustle would cover up all that gorgeous lace. With patience the folds can be placed so that it maximizes the exposure of the decoration.
This is my favorite bustle because it is the most secure. It doesn't employ hooks or buttons but ribbons that you tie in place so it can be as secure as you like to knot it and nothing shows on the outside when the bustle it up.'

I'll keep looking for pics!
Thanks! I wasn't picturing this--is there a bustle style where it doesn't look draped--it goes totally underneath?

yes- I am having this type of bustle, although I can't find a pic. They just put the button(s) inside instead.

Okay -- I think I got one.
The first pic is of the dress with the train out and then you can see the seamstress doing the bustle (Kristy&Joe from theknot) -- she said it's a huge pain in the butt to do (like 12 pts) but it works best with her dress because of all the detailing -- of course who would want to hide that -- it's gorgeous!
I cant find any pics Are you looking for one that when the dress is bustled it looks like it is a floor length ballgown all the way around and you cannot see the train at all?? I really like that Idea and I will keep looking for pics!
ETA: oops, I did not see JimmysBride's post before I posted, that is what I was trying to describe!
