Wedding Finished Bridesmaid Dress and My Dress Bustle

[violet02]

Well my bridesmaid fit into her dress and hers is all ready to go! My other bridesmaid is getting her''s altered. My first dress fitting went well but my dress also needs a lot of alterations as well. It was a size too big but I think they''ll do a nice job on it. The one area I was really pleased with was the bustle. I had no idea how it would work on a dress like mine but it was really cool! I''ll re-post photos of the original dress then a photo of the bustle so you can see what a neat job they did on it.

First here''s my bridesmaid dress from Siri (Francesca model with pockets!) watermelon pink with magenta sash:

First dress fitting and first pinning of the bustle. Super cute!

That is a cute bustle. Sometimes they can look wierd but I really like it!

For some reason the buttoned area looks a lot 'lower' bustled then it does when I first tried the sample dress on... or maybe it's just the size of the dress? The sample size is two sizes smaller than the dress they ordered for me. They spent a LONG time pinning on that first fitting. I had no idea they could do a ton of pleats then tuck them like they did on my bustle. It's like a whole row of pleats all side by side, then up and under! I thought it was going to be just lifted up in a few places or french bustled. I had no clue! I think it's clever though!

it''s hard to tell about the buttons since your butt isn''t in the second picture as a point of reference, but they probably just look lower with it bustled because you don''t have the expanse of train going with it, so it''s an optical illusion kind of thing. it looks great--i like that they did kind of an internal bustle. it would''ve looked weird if you had a big poof on your booty when the rest of the dress is so streamlined. you look lovely, violet! the bridesmaid dresses are really cute, too--love the pockets!

Darling dresses! Yours is just gorgeous!

The bustle is really nice too - mine is getting a little weird. Jealous!

Ok, LOVE the BM dress with pockets. They are going to love you for that!

And your dress looks awesome on your figure- love the simple elegance of the satin/silk material with your tattoos!!!!! Very cool.
