    Hi ladies,

    My wedding is right around the corner and I am having my dress altered but have no idea what type of bustle would work for this dress.  I don't want to add any more volume to the ALREADY super puffy skirt and I don't want the back to look like layers got caught in my underwear when I went to bathroom - I want it to fall elegantly and work with the design of the dress.  The fabric of the skirt is organza.  Any ideas, sites you recommend or photos for inspiration?

    Thanks!

    Probably with yours I would do an american bustle and make it have 3 or more points. That way it will still flow with the look of your gown.

     

    Here is a link to some pictures of different kind of bustles.

    I don't know, the second link with the Austrian type bustle might work really well with your stunner of a dress!

    I'm going to agree with doctorgirl.  I didn't even see that one, but when I studied it more closely I like that for your dress as well!
