One of the first things landybridal think about as we study the styles and designs of wedding gowns is that it should look beautiful both during the ceremony and during the reception. After the ceremony, the bride usually wants to be able to move more freely, be able to turn easily, and perhaps be able to dance. If a gown has a detachable train, this is easily achieved.
Gowns are typically bustled either on the top of the gown, or underneath the skirts. Landybridal think the concept is the same: identify several points midway down on the skirt/train and secure these points higher up on the gown. Bustling on the top of the gown is usually accomplished with thread eyes carefully placed in the mid-section of the skirt, which are then secured around on the of back opening buttons, or on a button or hook higher on the skirt or near the waist. These buttons, hooks, and thread loops can be concealed with the gown’s ornamentation if necessary.
If the bustle of gown is made from underneath the skirts, ribbons are attached at the appropriate places in the mid-section of the skirt, and another set of ribbons is attached higher on the skirt or near the waist. The pairs of ribbons are then securely tied to form the bustle. Landybridal suggest using a different pastel color of ribbon for each “set” of ribbons that get tied together will make the bustling much easier than if, for instance, all white ribbons are used.
