A wrist loop was featured on Clare's dress in The Time Traveler's Wife. Brides.com says: "At the reception, the newlyweds dance in a garden lit with romantic paper lanterns. Removing her veil for the reception, Clare also lifts the skirt of her wedding dress with a special wrist loop that Weiss added so that the bride could dance easily."

I've googled a bit, and haven't found much else on my beloved "wrist loop". I did find a thread on Yahoo! Answers that was very-anti wrist loop, but I remain enamored.
I have concluded that there are two major factors that should be considered in the wrist loop versus bustle decision:
1. Length of dress train
2. Weight of dress
I haven't revealed my dress yet, but I can say that it does meet this criteria (i.e. it's not very long, or too heavy). Being anti-bustle, I'm definitely optimistic that this is a great option. I'm a girl who is happy to carry a clutch, or a purse that fits in the nook of my arm so I don't think I'd be bothered by having something to "carry".
I also saw this photo on the back cover of the latest issue Southern New England Weddings. Trend, perhaps?
What are your thoughts on the wrist loop? Have you seen one in action before?
