I'm not getting the photo, but any seamstress would know what kinds of bustles she could put in the dress, which would likely hold best, and which would look best. When I went to my alterations seamstress, she had me stand in front of a mirror and she just held up the train in different ways until I generally liked what the bustle would look like.
Ah, it wasn't a link before. Now that I see it, you probably have a lot of options. Here's a site that shows a lot of the most popular:

I think the ballroom bustle would look great because it would show off all the detail on the train.

Does anyone know a website that I can go to that shows pictures/instructions on how to bustle a train? I am wanting to purchase a dress off of a used bridal gown store online but not sure what types of bustle would look good with the dress. I of course would have it done by an alterations place but just needed idea to help make my decision. Here is a picture of the dress:

I asked her how it was bustled but she said that she never made alterations to it b/c the wedding never happened. She is just trying to get some money back from the dress. Please Help!
