Question I just had my wedding gown bustled, and I'm not sure if it is a good job or not. I have never seen what a bustled dress looks like, but on my dress, they put a little silver hook at the base of the back zipper (actually on one side of the zipper), and I don't think it looks very good. Like I said, I don't know what it's supposed to look like. But, to me, it looks like it will stand out (and I am not usually picky!) Does this sound like a normal dress bustle? (I tried to find pictures on the internet, but had no luck)
Answer Melissa:
It really depends on several things as to if this hook will work for your bustle. I do agree that a silver hook on the back of your dress is most likely not the best option.
If you would like to email me a picture of your dress, I can tell you what the best type of bustle would be! I can also let you know if it would be something you could do yourself or if you need to have a seamstress do it for you.
