I have a gown that I am trying to bustle. I will try to explain. There is no waist, and it is strapless. with a slight flare. There is lace over the dress which extends about 15 inches past the end of the satin part of the train. Any ideas? I have not watched the DVD yet, but I have never seen any like this.

I would first ask the bride if it was ok to bustle the lace to the length of the satin. It wouldn't totally be up off the floor as in this picture, but I think she would like the look.

If she doesn't like that idea, you'll have to bustle the 2 layers separately. The satin will have a very small lift that probably won't even be noticed under the lace. The lace can then be bustled off the floor.

There are examples of both these looks on the Pick-Up Bustle Page.
