Hi there

I found your website and think it's great! I have a question about pickup bustles though.

Please find attached a picture of my dress - can you tell me if a pick up bustle will hold this up? My dressmaker isn't sure about doing bustles but I just want to be able to lift my train up for when I'm dancing. Is it just a case of hook and eye or would I need a ribbon loop as well and if so, does this come from underneath the train?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm desperate!

Thanks, Nichola

Your train is much too wide and long for a pick-up type bustle. You might need at 4 points to form a bustle. The Alterationist you select should be able to answer your questions.
