“What kind of bustle would you like? American or French?”
What does she mean?
Created during alterations using snaps, hook and eye closures or ribbons, a bustle allows your gown’s train to be down when you want it and tucked away when you don’t!
There are two basic kinds of bustles, the American and French.
When a train is picked up and attached on the outside of gown, it’s called an American bustle. Depending on the length of the train and fullness of the gown’s skirt, there can be one or more fastening points.

Generally using three or more closures, a French bustle lifts the train by securing it underneath the gown’s top layer.
