What is an average cost of a bustle
What kind of bustle is your personal favorite for a chiffon fabric a-line skirt?
What about bustling a ball gown with lots of layers?
Daughter has a mermaid and can't figure out how to bustle all that fabric..wedding on 2 days
This is sooo helpful!
I'ld love to see a bustle on a dress where the sweep on the lace is not the same as the sweep on the lining.
I’m bustling my daughter’s wedding gown down in Australia! Thank you so much for all of the tips you have given me! The invisible bustle is the one for us!!
Hi can u show beading designs on bridal train
Bustles start at 3:11 😊
Hi! I was wondering if you could suggest what type of bustle would look best on a Martina Liana mermaid gown style 1182? Thank you.
I am looking for a dress
Do you use hooks or buttons for the bustle, or which one looks nicer?
Which do you recommend for tulle
Hello! I do limited tasks for alterations (do mostly home Dec sewing) but a good friend has asked me to hem and bustle her dress for September wedding. Suggestions please????file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/fe/14/57F9F099-7DA6-45ED-9FA0-0F72D32364A9/image000001.JPG
What if my dress is too long? Do I have to wait before getting a bustle?
Does the button go on the skirt or on the him for an in visible bustle and is it sewn only to the lining or does it go through the skirt?
How to sew an invisible bustle??
I wish you where Chicago, I just gotten my dress, its a ballroom dress, what type of skirt should I have on
Didn't know there were so many different types of bustles. Thanks for showing what they look like on different styles and materials!
I have a Galina signature tulle dress….what kind would I need I plan
On dancing all night
The (a-line bustle) is what I need. For dress I am working on. For a friend. But we are in Michigan
I am working on a friend's wedding dress. It has three layers of tulle over the top of the silk fabric. I have done other dress bustles. But not with tulle over the top. We want to put a bustle on it but no clue how . 😬
What is the best bustle for a solid satin train with no skirt embellishments and no lining. A-line skirt. Minimal tulle underskirt. Nothing to “hide” an American bustle and French bustle “pulls” at the tie points.
I’m getting married 8.27.21 and I’m getting the American bustle done to my dress. I do have a Stella York dress as well!
Thank you for instructions to bustling.
I do alterations as well but I need a suggestion on how to a bustle a dress.
It has:
1. A tulle lined lace top.
2. 3 layers of tulle.
3. A lining.
4. A semi full crinoline petticoat with a lace edging that is attached to the rest of the dress at the side and back seam about 12” from the bottom hem.
5. A gathered 2 layer crinoline petticoat.
6. Another lining.
I have bustled the top three items but I’m stumped on how to bustle item #4.
I tried bustling along with the items above but item seems and feels like too much fabric because of the fullness of the crinoline.
What would you suggest?
Can a petticoat be bustled on its own even if its attached at the back seam?
For items 5 and 6 I may cut to floor length. They don’t even show underneath the dress.
Thanks,
Becky
I do alterations and have a bridal gown with satin under skirt and tulle and top layer sheer fabric with lace around edges with horse hair??
