I'm having trouble finding a website with detailed instructions and illustrations on how to sew a bustle for a wedding dress. Does anyone know of any?

This one has some different variations that may not have been considered... Look halfway down the page...

Hopefully this will help... Just remember that the heavier the skirt, the more attachment points you will need to distribute the weight and not pop while you are moving.
Hope this helps out!

If you send me a picture of what you are looking for I might be able to help you- I am a fashion designer.... I am not sure if your trying to gather a back of a dress or sew a dress from scrap. If you are trying to gather a dress, send me a picture of the dress and how you want it gathered. I'll walk you through it.

I don't know a site but my best friend had a pearl button sewed in on the back seam about at her bum and a loop of fishing line put through half way down from there, it was easy, invisible and CHEAP.

truthfully take it to a seamstress. it rather is not so uncomplicated as purely stitching a hook and eye on the gown. maximum trains are heavy, the appropriate variety of hook, or button must be sewn or you will finally end up with a ripped practice. additionally a expert seamstress would have the potential to get it to hold properly. It shouldn't fee too plenty the two. stable success!
