Bustle Question
My fiances grandma is doing the alterations on my dress, but she has never done a bustle before, I was wondering if anyone knew of any good websites that tell you how to do it, maybe give a pattern. Thanks Tasha

I don`t have a website for you but do know that the bustle is a series of eye hooks and can be difficult since the bustling should be even and not too bulky. The hooks need to be strong enough to hold the train without pulling on your dress or causing damage from the weight. You can have a professional seamstress do the bustle for you when your grandmother has completed the dress. The cost should be minimal and you may be more confident that nothing happens to your grandmothers hard work.
