BusinessHABBlush wedding dress: Even though most wedding dresses don’t come with a bustle automatically, it’s important to bustle a wedding dress after the ceremony. A bustle pulls the back of the dress off the ground so it doesn’t get soiled, it allows the bride to move around after the ceremony with ease, and it alleviates some of the fear of tripping over a long train. There are several types of bustles, each looks a bit different but benefits the wearer of the dress in the same basic way. Here are a few options for adding a bustle to your wedding dress.

1. Decide whether you like the look of a regular bustle.
With a regular bustle, the end of the train is folded up under the back of the dress. This creates the look of a bubble hem and a fuller back to the skirt. A regular bustle may not even be noticeable to others, as it will just be assumed that your dress has just has no train and a full skirt.
- Regular bustles are usually easier to create on a skirt that is full but does not have a ton of tulle underneath, as the tulle would make it more difficult for the dress to fall naturally when it is bustled.

2. Attach a tie on the underside of the skirt.
The tie should be positioned so that when your bustle is completed, your skirt hem will be just off the floor. You, or your seamstress, can sew this into the seam of the skirt so that it is not visible from the outside.

3. Sew an eye hook to the end of the train.
- Remember that the eye hook needs to be sturdy enough to hold up the train of your dress, so if your train is really heavy, be sure to attach a sturdy eye hook.

5. Decide whether you like the look of a French bustle.
With a French bustle the loop and the button are both located under the skirt. When connected, the finished look will have a puff in the middle of the back of your skirt with the lower half of the skirt lying straight down. This kind of bustle is very visible, creating a layer, or more, on the back of the dress that is full and puffy.

6. Attach a tie on the inside of the skirt, almost all the way up to the waist.
The position of this tie will depend on where you would like the bustle puff on the back of the skirt of your dress. Just remember that the top of the puffy area will be where you attach the tie.
- If you are planning on having multiple points of attachment, for instance if your train is really long or you just like the look of multiple sections of full puffy bustle, then you will need to attach several ties at the top of the inside of your skirt.
7. Attach another tie on the underside of the skirt, this time further down the skirt from the first tie.
This tie should be high enough to hold the skirt off the ground but far enough away from the first tie that when they are tied together is creates a pleasant puffy area. You may need more than one tie, depending on how long your train is.
- When using multiple ties, use different colour ribbons to colour code which ties go together. This will make the job much easier and will also make the ties easier to see under all the layers of tulle and skirting. If you are afraid that the different colours could show through your fabric, just number the ends so that they correspond with the tie you will attach in the next step.
