I wonder if anyone could help me locate a bridesmaid dress/ bridal gown with a busle at the rear. I have been looking at the big 4 websites but i am unable to source a simular style? Any advice? Suggestions most appreciated....!

What do you mean by bustle? The real thing; a pillow under the dress, or folds and creases in the fabric? Truly Victorian has a lot of patterns for busteled skirts, maybe you could start there?

More a busle using folds of fabric rather than the full pillow effect.

Thank you for this website i will check it out for ideas.

If you haven't already try looking in the costume sections of the patterns. There are often "old Fashioned" looking dresses that could be made with appropriate fabric, etc. into bridesmaids gowns.

I just saw this: dress with train If you do place ribons at the waist, you could experimet with where to pull up the fabric to make the bustle. It's a bit hard to explain I'll see if I can take a picture of the inside of a bustle drape
look here to see what I mean
