This is likely not the answer you're looking for, but my two cents... I've never been successful in writing the templates for formsets on my own, as they tend to end up looking rather clunky. I've been using this <https://github.com/elo80ka/django-dynamic-formset/blob/master/src/jquery.formset.js>js library to help me out as it lets you set up some basic variables and modify the appearance of the form rather easily. From my understanding, the delete and add buttons don't work very well if you simply render them in the template, but this library makes them work a little better.
I've found formsets to be very frustrating so I hope you manage to do better than me!
