Bustle
To bustle or not to bustle…
Many brides have no idea what a bustle is and I have a few saying that they will not bother to use one on their wedding day. I assure you that you will be very, very happy later on your big day to be able to bustle up your train and be able to move freely. It is a very small cost of your alteration fee, and trust me you will not regret it!
What Is a Bustle? (Copied from Pinterest)
A wedding dress bustle seamlessly secures the train, or any extra fabric, off of the ground and into the back of the dress to keep it from dragging across the floor all night. Despite what some might think, bustles aren't just for ball gowns or dresses with major train drama. There are many types of bustles and nearly all full-length gowns have hooks, ties, or buttons sewn into the wedding dress train to create a uniformed hemline after the ceremony.
There are many ways of doing a bustle, and it depends on the dress you have.
