These days, many brides opt for wedding gowns that have elegant trains trailing behind. Trains make for a beautiful sight when the bride is walking down the aisle, but they can be somewhat of a burden throughout the remainder of the wedding day. Trains make dancing and navigating crowds of wedding guests nearly impossible, which is why a bustle is an essential addition to a wedding dress. When brides in New York City need to add a bustle to their dress, they turn to the city's experts in wedding dress alterations: 6 Avenue Tailor.

A good bustle tastefully lifts the train off of the ground and secures it to the dress in a way that frees the bride to move about easily. Bustles are usually custom made because brides vary in height and the dimensions of the bustle will depend on her height and the shoes she will wear. There are a variety of styles of bustles to choose from, including over bustle, under bustle, royal bustle, and ballroom bustle.

At 6 Avenue Tailor, bridal alterations are always taken seriously and given extra care. Their seamstress with extensive wedding gown experience works with brides to make a bustle that is flattering and perfectly suited to each bride’s taste. Most importantly, 6 Avenue Tailor can be trusted to make a bustle that will stay in place throughout the entire wedding. Having a bustle made at 6 Avenue Tailor can cost between $45 and $190.
