Can you girls help me out here - what kind of bustle do you think I should get? the more specific you are the better! over?, under?, where should the points be? I have my next fitting tomorrow and we're doing the bustle - I want to go armed with idea(s). tHANKS!

A traditional bustle with the points in the blank area. Any other way and I think you would hide the detail!

hah yes, I'm a little bit delayed but they assured me it'll be done with time to spare. If it's a tradiational bustle, how many points? Is more better?

They will decide how many points depending on the weight of the train. It's all about balancing it out-- the weight and how the detail/design lays. I'm having 5 and my train looks similar to yours (in length/weight). Don't do a French (under) bustle - I think that would hide the detail.

OK, so I should trust that the seamstress knows how many to do? Should I be afraid that the seamstress could be lazy and would just do whatever is easiest?
Thanks for the compliments! It's Maggie Sotero Milana something. The picture of the back is the strapless version and on their website it's the capsleeve version.
