Wedding Gown Bustle

Do you remember where the hooks and eyes were on the dress? You can replace them with teensy thread eyes which match the material, and hide the hooks waaaaaayyyy inside the waist seam. Make sure when doing the thread eyes, you lay the train out and smooth it so when you sew them in, the sheer layers lay right and not pucker. Some fabric stores sell white hooks, or you can just paint the silver ones. This will help them blend in more. You can also try a different bustle, like a french bustle, where the train is hooked underneath instead of on top. In the end, your guests will be looking at you as the whole picture, not focussing hard on your butt. (That`s your groom`s job, which comes later.) So don`t sweat hooks too much. :)
