Bustle Me!

When I told my brother that my dress needed a bustle, he thought we were talking about this:

Boys! Love them to pieces.

I scheduled my dress fittings as close to the wedding as possible. I like to live dangerously – but really, three weeks seemed like plenty of time.

I asked the seamstress to replicate this bustle. It looks to me like little waves lapping around the hem of her dress.

I think the train on my dress must be a bit longer than hers, because I ended up with more volume. Still pretty, but different. DJ’s mom came with me to the fitting, and she was super-concerned that DJ not see the dress until the big day. So if you would like a sneak peek (and are not DJ), click here.

What sort of bustle are you going for?
