Before and after: modern bride

For this gorgeous gown, I tailored the hem and bustle in tandem. I love the simplicity of this gown and how effortless it is to bustle this 3 point American bustle. I also reshaped the sides of the dress, so the dress drapes beautifully from all angles- bustled or not.

The After

For this gown, it’s so important to create a low-profile bustle, with the correct techniques and materials so the bustle hooks don’t show in the wedding photos when the train is down, but still holds well throughout.

before and after comparison

Every bustle I tailor is unique to each bride, their wedding and their style. Selecting a bustle for your wedding can be intimidating, however with the correct tailor, it can be a fun, collaborative and stress free process. At Nine Lives Bridal, each bride receives a complimentary bustle video to help streamline the process on the day, and one less detail to worry about.
