I guess I mean't a one layer waterfall. I couldn't see my butt but I had briefed my mil and aunt with the photo. Shoulda just shown the seamstresses but it was my first meeting and I was feeling all kinds of ways. Still am the dress is tight and it could be finished about a month before the wedding what if mil gives another chub snub comment? I can't handle that on my wedding day.

this is what I have would you walk around in public with this kind of bustle? Is it worth an extra hundred if it makes it look closer to the first photo?

    You have a French bustle (under bustle) and it looks fine! I think the difference between yours and the "reality" picture has to do with the size of the train. Based on your picture, you have a small train so a one layer 3 point bustle works best.

    Yeah, it looks right to me given the type of dress you have. Even the same type of bustle will look different in different dresses based on the number of layers, length of the train, and fabrics. I’m sorry your MIL is making rude comments to you. I would leave her out if any further fittings and ask your fiancé to have a talk with her if it continues.

    Thanks Smiley smile gonna go try it on tomorrow and hopefully everything goes well. I am a little worried they had to reinforce the boning in the front of the dress, but that shouldn't change how it looks in a bad way.

    That bustle works out really well. Try to get someone to practice helping you with it.

    Thanks I had my friend who loves her long nails come to my final fitting today and she did it real easy. I just realized that if I told them to make the buttons straight it looks a lot better. I kept getting crooked bustle results. When it's all straight it looks great.

    don't mind my strap falling off gonna tape them in place with basically skin safe double sided tape the day off so they dont slip off whenever I make large movements or slouch.

    I think it looks awesome.let whatever your mil has to say, let it go in one ear and out of the other. Just ignore her rude comments. This is your day, not hers!
