Wanna see my bustle?

Wanna see my bustle?

It's a combination over and under bustle. I really wanted an under bustle, but this one shows up the details on the train.

The first picture is from my first fitting. It's pinned.

The second and third pictures are from the final fitting.

I got my inspiration from the Saks add in the beginning of the Summer and Spring Martha Stewart issues. They used the bustle on a Reem Acra dress. I found it the day before I had to go for my fitting.

very nice!!! Being that I sew, I wonder if I could do my own bustle? I guess I would need a dress model though! ha

Randella- The model is white. She has brown hair worn up high. She is wearing an absolutely gorgeous Reem. The embroidery is magnificent.

ok- I have another ad- and the bustle looks very similar to yours.. Saks, Reem, etc.

Anyway- I digress-- your dress is beautiful..

What was your final headpiece/veil situation?

What was your final headpiece/veil situation?

Still un-decided. I am leaning towards not wearing the head piece.

Here's the only picture my sister got at the final fitting. I was debating posting it, because it doesn't really show what's going on too well.

Re: Wanna see my bustle?

the headpiece is beautiful-- and I think it looks great with the veil back- but you were concerned with the veil down, right?

Have you looked at any others??

Re: Wanna see my bustle?

I am with Randella; but that might represent a solution. Veil when down, alone for ceremony -- dramatic for walk down aisle, esp at Flowerfield with nice breeze, then HP with veil back or even off to party for reception.

I haven't really had a chance to do any shopping this week. Every night was a different activity.

I wasn't actually worried about when the veil was down. I am actually worried about when it's back. I am afraid that I look too princessy.

Re: Wanna see my bustle?

This is the look that I was going for. I love the way the lace of the veil goes all around when it is down.

I think that once the veil is home, I will have a little show for my mother and BMs and have them vote.

Should I maybe loose the necklace and go with a simpler strand of pearls. I already have a single strand.
