This was so helpful! My daughter's dress is big and poofy and complicated. We tried and tried different bustle styles and different points and nothing was working. Then I decided to watch some youtube videos and we got it! Thank you!
For a French bustle, do you have a ribbon on the top and bottom (2 points) on the backside of the outer layer? and nothing on the lining layer? In other words, does the bustled part just lay over the liner (not connected). Hope that makes sense. - Thanks for the video!
It's going to depend on the construction of the dress for how/where you attach the anchor point but the pick up point does need to connect through the outer layer in order to function. Sometimes there's no liner to use at all... and sometimes you're doing a different attachment style on the lining. So yes sometimes it could be that the whole outer layer is bustled strictly to itself but let the dress guide you on how that could be done.
Very informative and clear. Thank you. Struggling with a crape fabric bustle. Not sure how to approach it for the 2nd and third pickup points. Can i attach ribbon to the lining instead of the dress.
Thats what Im working with right now, but on a mermaid style dress. Im going to search through your tutorials as you mentioned needing to show the mermaid dress bustles as well.@adriennegonzales2636
Adrienne, I'm having to hem the front and taper to the train of a wedding dress. Also making a bustle. I have a photo of the exact dress and an under bustle that looks great and the bride likes it. I can send you the photo. The wedding is nov17, 23. I'm a bit worried... Help!
I'm so sorry! I do face away from the mic a lot and I'm just using my phone for filming yet. The closed captions do work well for this video though. Thank you for checking it out regardless 💗
Thank you! ❤
Such an informative video for those of us learning! You are an excellent teacher/mentor!
I'm so glad it's helpful! There's so much to learn about bustles that it's hard to narrow it down for videos lol
Thank you for this video! I love how you showed variety and how to discern what looks good and what works. Kudos!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I think it's a good conversation to have in order to show that it's a process. I appreciate your feedback 😊

This is so helpful! Makes me feel better about how I've been doing them, but now I can refine them and make them more beautiful 😍
Yes! And when you work alone it can be nice to hear if we all have some consistency just even for the sake of camaraderie 🥰
Excellent video! Thank you. ❤
Thank you for checking it out! I'm always available if you have questions on any bustle you're working on ❤

What is your favorite way to secure all the points in a bustle? Do you use hooks and eyes or ribbon ties?
Oooo well it depends on the dress and situation but usually ribbons are my preferred method over hook and eyes.
but, what did you attach the bustle to? Were there button underneath? or what??
A French style would be done with ribbons or ribbons and loops... this video focuses more on the fitting than the installation.

Yes! A lot of crepe dresses can really bustle successfully by anchoring the pick ups onto the lining.
