How To Bustle A Maggie Sottero Cassandra Dres

I have a Maggie Sottero Cassandra Dress that I absolutely love, but I do not know how it is supposed to be bustled. Will I have to take it to an alteration person? Please help...my wedding is in less than two months!

You`d probably want to take it to a seamstress or alterationist to get it bustled. When you go you can probably ask them what type of bustle they`d recommend for your dress, or if you have a choice. Usually they charge about $5-$10 per bustle loop. So if you need 5 loops put in, it could be anywhere between $25-$50, but it also depends on where you live, as prices can vary.

You could put in the bustle loops yourself if you have some sewing experience. It`s not all that difficult depending on your gown. I recommend going to "sewdeb.com" website. She has lots of good advice on bustles.
