Re: bustle
Erin,
Every bride will look different in a given dress, so it is hard to give specific advice without seeing the dress on you. In addition, while there are basic bustle shapes, a good seamstress will vary a given shape depending on the situation.
With this in mind, we would suggest either a French bustle or a double French bustle. This tucks the dress under itself and is fastened with streamers tied together. However, the bustle should not be in a straight line but should taper to rounded edges. We would advise against a traditional bustle, which is fastened on the outside of the dress with buttons. There are two problems with this type of bustle. First, you see the buttons on the dress as you walk down the aisle, which mars the look. Second, the buttons are not as strong as streamers.
We would love to help you further with your alteration needs. Please call us at (631) 462-0323 with any other questions.
