Happy Twirly Tuesday!
Featuring this stunning bride, Alexis in her gorgeous gown. We opted for a two tiered under (or french bustle), which is lovingly known here as a "princess bustle."

This allowed us to bring her very long train up to twirl the night away, while also adding a fun design detail! Bustles can be both beautiful AND functional!

(also featuring the unfinished version of my fitting stage!)

Part 2 of the Over Bustle!
If your wedding is coming up soon and you have your dress back from alterations, hang it on the back of the door and have your bridesmaids practice (maybe give them food or something, they are doing a lot of work for you right now).

Only water near the dress though!

I realized I have a LOT I want to show you all about bustles, so I had to split the Over Bustle into two parts! I'm super excited to bring in some real life examples and share some of my tips for bustling so that your ceremony to reception transition is seamless!

This week is all about bustles!

Bustles are one of my favorite alterations, but can be very confusing for non sewists. I hope that with this series I can answer some of your questions and alleviate some anxiety.

What question have you always had about bustles but been afraid to ask?
