Controversial bridal take: your bustle breaking doesn’t necessarily mean your tailor did something wrong 😅👰🏽‍♀️

Bustles are professionally sewn and tested to support the weight of your train during normal wear- but they’re still a delicate alteration. Think about it: a few loops, buttons, hooks, or ribbons are being asked to hold up several feet (and sometimes several pounds ) of fabric while you’re walking, dancing, hugging, and moving through a crowd.

The biggest bustle culprit? Someone stepping on your train while you’re moving! At that point, something has to give- and sometimes that means a loop, button, thread, or even the gown fabric itself.

A few ways to protect your bustle:
• Have someone help bustle you correctly
• Lift your train on stairs, uneven surfaces, and in tight crowds
• Be extra mindful on the dance floor
• Don’t let anyone pull or tug on the gown while it’s bustled

A well-made bustle should hold your train- not withstand the force of Uncle Mike stepping on 3 feet of tulle during the Cupid Shuffle. 😂

Treat her gently and dance accordingly. 💃🏽🤍

Having an alterations perspective is super helpful in the decision making process - I walk you through what alterations the gown will potentially need + discuss what changes you’d like to make (& what’s actually doable!) 🪡🤍

Congratulations Elma! 💍💒🤍

Her gown fit her well in the bust, she just needed some minor alterations throughout:
- add bra cups
- take in lower hip seam into hem
- hemming front into side seams + chop the train
