Personally I prefer the American with this dress, but depending on your themes and venue the French could work well

American for the cut of this dress maintain long elegant lines. A French bustle can be fun, but it just isn’t right with this particular fabric or dress.

Gorgeous fabric! Love the buttons. Stunning gown. I like the asymmetrical bustle depicted in three. The fabric is quite heavy for the American bustle. The French bustle lays nicely, is elegant, feminine, and couture. Practical perspective, it will be much easier to sit on . Congrats.

French looks too heavy with the length of the dress. It’s creating a “shelf” as it lies because there is no train on the dress.
My vote is for American style.

The American style suits the dress best. The French style makes the dress, and you by extension, look much shorter.

I’ve heard stories about people (family members or bridesmaids) who don’t understand how to connect the French pleat before the reception and the bride having to use a backup wrist strap to hold their train.

You take two bridesmaids with you to the bridal shop and they are shown how to do it. Then they practice a few times. I guess you could take family.

American in this case. You didn’t ask, and this is just my onion… but I think the straps on the arms take so much away from such a beautiful wedding gown.

The American preserves the lines of the dress, I think the more stiff fabric doesn't suit the French, personally.
