Hi Melissa,
I made the fabric marks to progress the video faster. 😉 The tape markings are all for reference and a good starting point, but can be adjusted to taste. Even more so, the markings on the fabric are all to how puffed up you want the back. Keep the points in line (on grain) vertically and play with where you want them attached to the tapes. Start with 1.5 to 2 times the length on the fabric between points in relation to the marks on the tapes. Safety pin or straight pin in place, then adjust to how you want the bustling to look.

I noticed you gave measurements on where to mark your twill tape for pinning the bustle ( highest in middle tape atleast 10″, sides a bit higher and pin 2 times in the center and three on the sides, all for a total between 14 and 30″) in the written description but I was wondering where on the fabric do you make the marks to pin to the twill tape? How much difference in retrospect to the twill tape do you measure on the fabric to pin? What would be those measurements? I noticed you mentioned you pre marked them in the video, but didnt give specific measurements. Thank you for this video, I am a complete novice at this and I’m more visual, just need to know where to measure my fabric to pin!
