The most difficult train to bustle is the asymmetrical bridal gown. Each back side of the gown has a different look and amount of fabric to deal with. Our seamstress can help you decide how to bustle your dress.

These cushions were too big for the client's porch chair so Deb's Sewing Service customized them to fit perfectly.

This white, pink and orange prom gown needed small darts at the bust to eliminate gaps at the side. We also hemmed the front of the gown to touch the floor. We added a bustle option for the small train.

This Over Bustle required the gown to be lifted separate from the netting overlay.

M's Gown Front

The Bride and Groom will be Salsa dancing at the reception, so We made additional bustle points to pull this netting completely off the floor in the front.

Jean's Bridal Crown.

We dated this vintage piece back to 1930"s because of the wax flowers commonly used in that era.

Bustle Points

No matter what needs pulled up for the bustle, all points are clearly marked for easy identification. Our recommendation is to take a picture of the marked points, then remove for the wedding. Afterwards, refer to the photos to find the almost invisible bustle points.

Attention to Detail

It is our pleasure to address all the details with loving attention. In this picture several layers of netting were cut with precision for the perfect hem.
