Please help me find a bustle style for my dress

So my dress is in and I am thinking about how I would like to bustle the back. The material is stiffer so it does not buslte as easily as other dresses. I have some pics of another girl on the knot with the dress so I will post these pictures to give you all an idea of what the dress looks on because I don't have any pics with me in it. Now she choose to do a double french bustle, which is a style on most dresses I like, however my BM's all think it looks weird. I am not sure what I think - the train is really long and the dress is cut in between a mermaid and A-line. What do others think?

I agree with your BMs, that bustle looks a little weird. IMO, a traditional bustle will look very flattering from the back, given the slim fitting nature of the front of the dress.

I'm not sure I like the way the dress is bustled in the pics. I think a traditional bustle would look nice.

By traditional do you mean attached on top?
