| This dress was lined in bridal satin with a layer of white chiffon on top. The back had a lace up closer. When altering the dress this bride requested straps. I reversed the lacing and laced from the bottom up, placed two loops on the front of the bodice for the lacing to go through and then pulled the straps back through to the back to create straps. |

| To bustle this dress it required a double combination bustle. Nine loops were sewn under the dress and a ribbon was attached under at the beaded embellishment that was placed on the center back of the dress - the ribbon was then threaded through the loops and tied creating a french bustle. Then two simple thread loops were made and an over bustle was created hooking the loops to a hook just under the embellishment to give this bustle a Greek look. |
