I had my fitting last friday, and the seamstress said she did a 3 point bustle… Is that enough? I have heard of bees saying the points rip out because of how heavy it is….
How many points did you all have for your ball gowns?
I don’t have a pic of it bustled (stupid me didn’t take one) but here is the dress.

It doesn’t look like a super heavy train. I’d trust your seamstress. My bustle wasn’t super complicated. It only had more than 2 or 3 because she had to add one on each side because it was so wide. My dress was pretty heavy (all satin – chapel length train) and the bustle stayed put all day and night.

@almostmrsj: It isn’t heavy, but the tulle is really delicate. I am worried about the points ripping. EK! I will trust my seamstress, maybe ask her about it next fitting. Thanks for helping!
