Bustle Types

A wedding dress bustle allows you to lift and secure the train after your ceremony, making it easier to move, dance, and enjoy your reception. There are several bustle types, and the best option depends on your gown's construction, train length, and overall design. Popular choices include the American bustle, French bustle, ballroom bustle, and wrist bustle. Each creates a different look when the train is lifted, so your bridal stylist and seamstress can help determine which works best for your dress. Before your wedding day, schedule a fitting to ensure the bustle is properly placed and practice using it with someone who can assist you.
