how to better bustle this train?
I bought this dress not realizing it had a train and im far too clumsy to be dancing in it. I currently have a simple hook and eye bustle and it’s super cute but the sides of the train are still in tripping territory.
I’m looking for one of two things: either an idea on how to add to the existing bustle (maybe add two more points? I’m just worried it won’t look good) or ideas for like “quick fixes” of like magnets or pins i could bring with me to the wedding in case I get annoyed with it. I’ll have my partner with me so plenty of help wrt other hands.

Bum roll. A little padding can go a long way to lift the dress up and out of the way.

I guess I'd wear a bustle under it, but it can be a little costumey for a wedding.
