[cgniech]

This was great! So simple to understand. Thanks so much!

This was a really helpful video, thank you for sharing. I never heard of a wedding dress bustle until I called to find out pricing on a dress today and they told me there was an extra fee for dress alterations and bustle fitting. I was confused but now I get it, so thanks very much for clarity! :)

Very helpful video! I am altering a friend's wedding dress and have to do the bustle as well. I'm not sure what kind of bustle we'll use. The dress has a very light lacy outer layer with a heavier satin layer for the lining. They aren't attached and I hate to sew the layers together with bustle buttons or hooks. I wanted to highlight some of the lace motifs but would I be better off with a regular bustle?

Why does she sound so angry?

[molarmama5]

@izidagger That is from hustling whilst bustling.

Are there any particular bustles more duties to the 18th century? I'm doing costume for a script extract in drama and I don't know what to do about a bustle for one of the characters.

[devonsharon]

You are freaking awesome. I am getting married in less than two weeks and just remembered to tell the girl who is making the dress about bustles.... this will save us both a ton of worrying and wondering.

This was such an informative video! I was nervous about having a train on my wedding dress because I -really- love to dance... not anymore!

[IrishZombie77]

how many yards does that look like to you guys? 3 yards?

[thewhiteboxmilwaukee]

@IrishZombie77 It's a standard bed sheet length, tied around the mannequin about 8 inches higher that what you see, if that is of any help.

[LottaTroublemaker]

Thanks a lot, saw this mentioned online, and had no idea what the word meant (in English)... Now I do! :)

[moon3sun3stars]

[vivalaleta]

Thanks so much. I was wrestling with a very Klondike Kate looking old prom dress trying to give it an apron bustle and train. I have NO experience in sewing and it was going terribly. Thanks again.

[lailamykle]

wow you are beautiful!

thanks for the video.

[MJMuscato13]

Incredibly helpful Thank you

[SandrineSoprano]

Thanks for upload.

[lisaeca]

Good job. Thank you xoxo

[lawrencewraith]

thank you...can you show the pins or how you secure the fabric...merci

[thewhiteboxmilwaukee]

@lawrencewraith I'm sorry for the late reply to your question, but the best way to secure the bustle would be with loops and ties (or buttons) sewn in, rather than pins. I have also seen gowns with hook/eye fasteners, but those tend to fall out, particularly with wedding dresses.

[smythwaldron]

thanks : )

[SteveRessel]

Thanks for that info.  I was just researching bustling for my girlfriend.

BTW, I thought I was seeing my lower teeth. We might have some distant genetic relation.

[Phaythful]

my dress has a loop but it doesnt have anything to connect it to...do i need someone to sew in the other loop or something to connect it too since it doesnt have any? i looked a couple times and im sure there wasnt anything connecting....PLEASE HELP!

[LTOneil]

really helpful ^^

[MusicDevine87]

Hi! Thank you so much for posting this! I was wondering I have a very full skirt made of tulle it also has detailing around the edge of my train..I was wondering what you thought would be the best bustle for this!? Thanks!

[pavelavietor1]

thanks that is exactly what i needed to know thanks again Paula

[thewhiteboxmilwaukee]

kingoforting: I personally favor a regular bustle for a simple gown like that if it's full enough.

msmina1012: It depends on how full the dress is. For something slim and light, one point would be enough for each little bustle. But, for many wedding gowns (silk satin, a voluminous skirt) each would be several points, the number of which would be determined by how full and heavy the dress is. A good seamstress will know.

Thanks for your comments!

[msmina1012]

The video is extremely informative. One quick question for the french bustle, would each clip be considered a point? Thanks for showing the different bustles.

[kingoforting]

What would be the best bustle for a princess waste gown with a plain train?
