MemberWhat do you guys think of the bustle? It wasn’t what originally I had in mind, but my sister really liked it. I think I was thinking something more like a single point (or 3) with the lace, and then french the underneath layer, more towards where the buttons are. What do you think of this though?
MemberI would go with something more traditional for that dress. So pretty.
MemberI’m not loving it. I think your original idea was better. No ones really going to give it much heed but as you’re asking here, it does make your lovely dress a bit net curtain like. A simple bustle will keep the elegant lines better I feel.
MemberTotal honesty: its a bit odd looking- I wouldn’t do that kind of bustle. I would definitely do a more traditional bustle because your dress is beautiful and you don’t want to make it look awkward.
MemberI agree with all previous replies. Really do not like the bustle

MemberTo be totally honest, it reminds me of this kind of pants:
MemberSorry OP I agree with the hive here — looks like a curtain! I’d ask your seamstress for what you originally envisioned.

MemberThat dress is beautiful! The bustle is a little busy. I think I would go with the simple 3 button.
MemberSorry Bee! I literally gasped oh no! You’re dress is way too pretty for that complicated bustle. Agree with PP, maybe 1 or 3 point?
MemberYour dress is so elegant that bustle kind of sems to take it down a notch
MemberIt’s good (but also not good) to hear you all think the same. My sister says this is a bad angle, so here’s another shot. I’ll probably call her tomorrow and see if I can come down again. The bummer is she lives an hour away from me, but since all of the reception is going to be bustled, I want it to look good
In defense of this style, I like how it still preserves the shape of the dress, especially in the booty region. And I don’t look like anything is coming out of my butt 😂
MemberAlso, thank you everyone for your feedback! I really appreciate it!
another side note: I think when it’s actually bustled, not pinned, it’s going to look kind of ‘drapey’
MemberThe dress is beautiful in the back without the bustle, I feel like there are other ways to bustle it that don’t make it turn into a prom gown. You’ve got a great figure and the way it is now I think does nothing for the dress or you. I am no dress professional but I’d expirement more. 🙂
