My sister wore an Amsale that had a lace overlay -- that part got a one point over bustle -- and then the fabric under this part was done up in a three point UNDER bustle. It looked great!
I usually like the French bustle better, but for your dress with the lace detail at the bottom, I think a simple over bustlle would be best.
Thanks so much Brushetta. Would you happen to have a photo?
Hmmm, I do have a picture, but I'm not that familiar with posting on images on the boards. Do you have an email address I can send it to? Feel free to PM me with that info!
reader mimi55 had a lace overlay and she posted a picture a while back with her Underbustle (also Victorian bustle).
oops- try again
ok i clearly cant post this pic- here's the link

Thanks for the link mschampagne. I actually think that is what she tried to do, but it didn't look as nice as the photo in the link. Maybe because it's all pinned up and everything needs to be smoothet out. I'm not sure. Here's a picture.

hm... what about gathering another layer of the fabric on top and bringing it under so it's more of a V shape? Like add an attachment in the middle to bring it up even more underneath. Probably totally doesnt make sense- sorry!
i just found this great website:

neat, huh? (i want an english bustle now.)
@bookgirlbride Mine is also lace overlay with satin underneath - i haven't talked to the seamstress yet, but i've been wondering if there is any way to do the bustle where the lace is either pulled up above or hidden behind and the bustle is then done with the satin....to change up the look a little bit from all lace to satin.... i'm sure that is clear as mud hehe Here's the back of my dress....what do you think?
@bruschetta Is that kind of what you were talking about?? LOL

if i see nbsp in my posts one more time i'm throwing the computer out the window! 
hi honeybun, take a look at the link that sleepylittlesailor posted (thanks for posting!). maybe you could do a pick-up bustle or maybe the pick-up bustle-french style.
I didn't want a french bustle because I have such beautiful lacing and detail on the back of my dress but the top layer of my dress is stitched to all the other layers of tulle. I have the Maggie Milana and the top layer of the dress used to not be attached and the top layer could be lifted but not anymore. So unless I want a ten pound horse tail on my butt I am going with the French Bustle. But at least I can get jiggy with it in my dress!

Does any one have any advice or recommendations on how to bustle this type of dress? I'm having a hard time figuring out something that I like. In my first fitting, the seamstree did a French bustle, but I don't love the way it looks. Thanks for the help!
