One of the most exciting thing about this wedding is having a bustle. I love bustles. They look SO COOL. So, when I ordered my dress, I was already imagining the bustle I could have. I thought about having to do it at the shop, but I wasn’t comfortable with it - I’m not quite sure why. But it doesn’t matter, because my FMIL has a friend who actually alters and designs wedding dresses! She does it for a living and loves my FMIL, so she will do my bustle and alterations for me as well.
Now, I just need to settle on the type of bustle I want for my semi-cathedral train. Here is the back of my dress, I’m not quite sure you can see the design on the train, but I want that to be visible with the bustle done.
Two of my options are overbustles.These are one point overbustles :

Other options are the many pointed underbustles:
Fifteen points (I think),

and another with many points that aren’t listed.
These dresses have a ton of points, but of course, it doesn’t list how many!

And lastly, my favorite bustle/dress ever.

I like how this dress has box pleats, since mine does, too. As with the others I’ve found in the Bustlebio2, the descriptions are a little hard to place with the dress.
How are you going to do your dress bustle? Are they doing it at the shop, or are you taking it somewhere else?
I have a similar bustle to the one on the very bottom..if you’d like I can send you a picture
