As promised yesterday, here is the info on the second type of bustle:
The French Bustle
The French bustle is currently the more popular bustle for a lot of reasons, the first of which is that it is the safe way to go. If someone steps on it, it's much less likely to fall apart. It is distributes the weight of the train a bit more. It also carries the weight a bit lower and not on your waist=MORE COMFORTABLE!
It does cost a bit more, but is well worth it. Here are a few tips that I've picked up along the way:
1. It is better to have ties than to have loops and hooks.
2. It's good to have the ties numbered or lettered so that it's quick to bustle.
3. Have someone attend your final fitting so that someone knows exactly how it is put together.
