    Mine is a little like this one, which the three points, but it looks more like 5 because there are 4 more buttons underneath.

    Mrs. Nachos bustle is fab!

    She's just holding it up in this picture, but this is the only gown I've ever loved the american bustle on! The one I see this gown with usually has this crazy 5 point bustle that I dont like but I'm hoping the one point holds it!

    @coffeekitty: Did you ask for more buttons underneath? That sounds like a good way to secure it more.

    Here is mine...it's a 3-point American bustle.  never thought I'd want something so simple but the dress really warrants this type of bustle.

    @mishelleez: I just ran into this post and was all, "hey, there's a big ole picture of me!" Too funny. I loved my bustle and it was really easy for my friend to put up on the wedding day with no practice runs beforehand. I'm happy so many people are doing the same :)

    Oh wow... I didn't realize there was a lot of variations with a bustle. I thought they were only pinned at the booty. Laughing

    Mine is a 3 pt french bustle but the layers hide it.  It turned out really nice.  2nd pic is for comparison.

    I usually don't like the look of bustles but I know they have to be done more than likely and I happen to actually like how mine will look!  I have the same dress and mine will look similar, it will look a little cleaner but you get the gist!LET'S SEE those bUSTLES! :  wedding Bustle

    @mishelleez: I really don't get how this bustle works. The dress doesn't look bustled to me. Is it just bustled on the side where the brooch is?

    I had a 6 point french bustle.  I was a little unsure how it would work with the assymetrical ruffles but I think it turned out well.

    The 1st picture is of the train un bustled and the 2nd picture is it bustled during our 1st dance.  (Sorry no professional pictures yet.)

    @shaunna: it really doesn't look bustled. i think that is the beauty of it. it's tucked under in a way that it  looks natural.
