Easy way to bustle a wedding gown if you prefer to do it yourself (Tutorial). 

OMGosh!! Your video helped me a whole lot. Was trying to figure out for weeks a way to keep my daughter’s dress from being dragged. After watching your video, went straight to doing it and did 2 bustles in 15 mins. Her wedding is a week away so, THANK YOU!

Omg you just save me $100. My wedding is almost a month away and I just learned I need a bustle for my train. I don’t plan on dancing much since I have no rhythm lol but I still don’t want my dress dragging more than it has to. Thank you very much for this video. I will pass it on because every bride deserves to know how easy this is.

Thank you so much for this vid. I am waiting for my gown and did not know what to do with the train. Thanks again

Thank you. Not only did you show how to bustle but also gave tips for knotting thread and preventing the loop from coming off the button.

Jiex, Thank you so very much. You just saved me a lot of money and hassle. That chain store we won't mention isn't doing the alterations right now due to Covid 19. I just hemmed my daughter in law to be dress and was able to do the little chains to reconnect where they had them. I saved your video months ago not knowing how much I'd need it. Thank you.

Thank you! This is exactly what i needed to know and the instruction is so clear and simple!

Thank you for having this video. I had planned to have someone else do it but then not only did I have to move but I lost my job so I`ve been pushing it off. I like sewing and I`ve decided it would be much better and cost-efficient for me to just go ahead and do it myself.

Your video have taught me so much

My wedding is in 3 weeks, I went to go get a corset this afternoon and found out that my dress was still too small, and I was seriously going to need a bustle. I seriously freaking out. But I came across your video and It's like I had a instant weight lifted!! You made this look so easy now I will be doing my own bustle and I honestly have you to thank!!!! You are amazing!!! Now all I have to do is find an alteration place that I can afford, also can get this done in 2 1/2 weeks and can take out 2 inches on each side so I can zip it all the way! Thank you for this video you really are a life saver

Thank you for posting this ❤️❤️

Great video! Super informative. Thanks for the advice.

Wow that was easier than I thought. I'm gonna have to do my own bustle because apparently my mother is no longer here and I know she would have done it in a heartbeat but I have to do my own so thank you very much I really greatly appreciate that did help a lot

Sincerely, thank you. $65-100 for one button bustle is highway robbery. 10 dollars her additional bottons/loops is insane too for a standard bustle. Thank God Amen I saw this as I'm now going to bustle my own gown

I LOVE these videos and crave more! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

Thank you! This is the same dress I’ll be wearing I’ll def do the bustle myself thanks to your video. :)

Great tips and techniques! Thank you for sharing your experience with others who need advice.

Excellent tutorial. I'm adding a bustle to a wedding dress for the first time and your video was the best.

Love it

Very unique video, I love it! Keep up the great work. Huge thumbs up.

Thank you. I also learned a new technique for doing loops, that is faster than the one I currently use.

Thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge with us, very simple, well done. Blessings

Very nice and informative video! (Keep sharing the joy of sewing!)

Wow... I just got my first official shift as a Bridal Attendant, and I was nervous about some "what if's" and the bustle. Thank you SOOOOOOOOO much for this video!!! (:

this is amazing

Thanks!

Thank you so helpful!

awesome video so far

Super easy. thank you

Tank you very much , That is really helpful :)

Thanks so much for your helpful video. I used your tecnique to make the loop for the bustle on a wedding dress and it came out great. I also hemmed the dress and lining and trimmed the tulle layer. I also took in the bodice. Lastly pressed and steamed. Not sure what to charge. Was thinking $70. What do you think?

Thank you!

it's amazing

this video helped me out

thanks 👍for the tip

very nice!!

Awesome and very helpful video!! new subbie here!!

Thank you I have subscribed.

Wow! I need this. I need to know how to take my dress in as well. I ordered online and paid $100 for it. I can't afford the alterations

Thank you for this video. I just received my dress back from the tailor after taking it in for hemming and to get one of the layers attached to the rest because it dragging on the floor when the rest were bustled. I thought I just couldn't find the tiny ribbon that was used for the bustle loop but it seems it came away while it was at the tailor. I was debating whether to take it back to get a new loop put on or whether I could just add a loop myself because I can see where the previous one was. I think I will use this technique to try to add my own loop since it seems quite straightforward.

Perfect! Thank you!!

With regards to the button. Can I use a self cover button? It fits best with the dress but heard it is not so strong and tend to open up on bustle.

Like you video very much could you show how you did the thing with the thread to make the loop to go over the button. Your so quick I couldn't figure it out thats so much!!

Great video! My mom and I are tackling altering my lace wedding dress. I'd be interested in seeing how to do more alterations!

Thank you! I might have missed it if you said, but what weight thread did you use? It looks heavier than sewing thread but not as heavy as my crochet thread. I'm needing to add a bustle to my daughter's wedding gown.

do more bustles please :) How would you do a three point bustle or 5?

VREAT WAY TO MAKE A BUTTON LOOP. thanks..

Canyou send me a link for a bustle on a mermaid wedding dress

what size button did you used for bustle?

How to replace a zipper in a wedding dress that is very beaded?

hi. hoping to get a reply from you. i need your suggestion. i will try to put a bustle on my wedding dress. do you have an email address so i can send you my question? thank you.

make some more videos

This is a good video but I hit the thumbs down arrow because of the title. As a seamstress, my work and my fee is not a rip off. I provide a service that people want. The average for a simple bustle is about $90.00 here at this time. First, there's a lot of study and experience often needed to know which kind of bustle to use for the type of dress. Second, you need to know which layers to bustle and which not to otherwise it will constrict the ability to walk! Third, putting a needle and thread through a $1,500 or more dress is taking on a lot of responsibility if anything tears or is wrong. Especially when hemming! The fee is combat pay. Nobody is happy when a pair of black work pants is an inch short. There would be bloody murder if a wedding dress hem is too short. And rightly so since it is a very important event with a ton of pictures. And it is almost never one hem on a wedding dress, but layers of different fabrics with different weights and even amount of fabric. There are less and less wedding dress seamstresses because people are fine with paying high prices for a wedding dress but peanuts for the seamstress. A better title would have been "wedding dress alterations you can do yourself." Some people can and want to do these alterations. I'm fine with that. More power to them. You don't have to take seamstresses down to share a few of the techniques used.

Are you a filipino?

I’m curious why you consider wedding dress alterations a rip off? It’s a service that many women need for their wedding dresses to fit properly and for them to feel and look beautiful on their special day. Everyone is not built the same so that’s why alterations are needed and that’s why there are seamstresses who are specialized in this area to provide the service. Therefore, it’s not a rip off because no one is being scammed, everyone is being made whole.

Why do you call the work of a professional a rip off ? If you go to the doctor you -or your insurance- will pay the bill because he/she is a professional that went to school for years in order to do what you need them to do. Same with a seamstress/tailor. They go to school for years to perfect their work and skills therefore you’re paying them to put their knowledge in practice. Furthermore, materials are not free. Don’t call other people’s jobs a rip off. It is not.

yeah you doing everything from home your not paying rent or taxes school taxes you need get reported to the IRS making cash and not paying taxes all the retail stores pay between 2 thousand to 10 thousand dollar rent per month plus employees , school taxes maintenance repairs credit card machine processors light bill phone bill plus companies require to purchase at least 24 dresses for stock every six months

Thanks!
