Dress fittings aren’t that exciting. They pin you up, tuck your boobies in, tell you that you need bigger pads sewn in, stick you with pins on accident… you get the idea. But, this fitting was actually fun for me. We finally decided on a bustle! I love it, so I had to share it with all of you!
I don’t know if this qualifies as a French bustle, but it’s tied in three places and will lie under the beading in the back. Excuse the poor quality of the photos—they were taken with my cell phone.
Here is the back, without the bustle:
And just as a reminder, here is the dress. “Emily” by Vineyard for Priscilla of Boston.
I think the back is my favorite part!
What kind of bustle are you doing?
You look gorgeous! I am having a french bustle. I actually am going in a few days to get my measurements done and order the dress. YIPPEE!!!!
I’ll admit to being a person not very impressed by bustles… I wished I could just drag my dress around long all night… but your bustle makes me swoon! I love it ! Its so fluffy, without being over the top! High five, Miss D!
It looks great! I too had a french bustle and loved it but I would definitly suggest having some heavy duty safety pins (someone suggested Diaper pins to me). Since it is bustled low I can guarentee that at least one of the ties will get broken over the course of the evening from either you walking on it accidentally or some one else doing so. Ultimatly all of mine did break but we just safety pinned it so it was fine.
You look so awesome in your dress, Miss Dumpling!!!! 
So cute!!!!
The bustle looks great!
I’m totally taking this bustle photo to my seamstress! It’s purty.
i loveee the idea of bustles! i think is super romantic. unfortunately, my dress does not have a train, and therefore, no bustle! =(
you look amazing in your dress!
I am a big fan of your bustle. All the folds make it uber romantic. LOVE IT!
You look amazing!!! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE that bustle!
You look beautiful and that bustle is just PERFECT! My dress is the vineyard ‘Jane’ which is fairly similar, I was considering a plain under-bustle, but yours has got me thinking!
lovely lovely bustle! i had a french five point bustle (because my train was a bit heavy–lace and beading). did you decide to keep the belty sash around the waist?
Thanks ladies! I love it too!
@Mrs. Penguin: Thanks. I think it looks like cake and I want to eat it.
@Mary: I LOVE THAT DRESS!
@Mrs. Lovebird: Sanku! :*blush*:
I am ordering the same dress, and it’s actually dress #2 for me. I wasn’t happy with my first one and is currently selling it if anybody is interested =) . I was wondering if you left the sash thing on around the waste? I am having a really hard time deciding whether or not if I want to keep it on there.
BTW you look great in the dress and I really like the bustle!
