Don’t know if anyone can help. My gown has a sweep train with lace, but there is also a light airy chiffon Watteau panel train over the top that is about 2 feet longer than the sweep train. My question is how to bustle this? My wedding is in 7  months and I don’t know what to do with this? I love my gown, but I want to dance at the reception without tripping or having to carry everything! Has anyone ever had this situation?  The picture is the back of my gown, if it helps! thanks!

Watteaus are so gorgeous and rare. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone with it bustled because the dress might’ve been designed with (or bride might’ve chosen to make it) a detachable train. You should ask your seamstress about going that route and then only bustling the sweep train.
