Tips for bustles
1. Designate someone to be trained on how to bustle
Whether it's a wedding coordinator, friend, or family member, make sure you have someone who is trained ahead of time on how to bustle your dress. This can become a long process if you do not have someone who knows exactly what to do!
2. Talk with your seamstress about the bustle you want
Your seamstress can ensure that your dress is prepared for the bustle you want and can even show someone how to bustle your dress for you!
3. Budget for the bustle
Make sure you account for the cost of a bustle in your dress budget. If you don’t account for this cost, you can end up spending an extra hundred or two on top of your dress expense already!
