If you want a train on your bridal gown

if you want a train on your bridal gown what is the normal length of the train?

Re: If you want a train on your bridal gown

i'm not sure if there is a "normal" length. it depends on the style of lengha, how long you want it to be, even what you can afford if it has work on it.

Re: If you want a train on your bridal gown

if you want to wear your dress again, i strongly suggest not getting one.

Re: If you want a train on your bridal gown

llxxll, you'll have to ask a designer/tailor about that for traditional lehngas. Here is something about trains on western wedding gowns:

There are 6 standard lengths. A train length is the length from the waist to the hem in the BACK of the gown!

No Train: Well, by definition, this is NOT a train, it is still an option so we will include it here. Generally, it will be the same length front and back.

*Sweeping Train: This is the shortest of the trains and is also called a **brush train* because it just brushes the floor. Usually, the back hem is only a few inches lower then the front hem. It provides the elegance of a train without to much added fabric in the way.

Chapel Length Train: This is currently the most common train because it has the elegance of a full train but is still not overly cumbersome. A chapel train is generally 1 1/3 yards or 4 feet from the waistline.

Semi-Cathedral Length Train: A semi-cathedral is about half way between a chapel and cathedral length.

Cathedral Length Train: This is a popular choice for a formal affair or for that fairy tale look. A cathedral train is generally 2 1/2 yards or 7 1/2 feet from the waistline. These gowns often come with a bustling option or a removable train to allow for better movement on the dance floor.

Royal Train: Remember Princess Di's wedding gown? This is one of those trains this is still out the door when you reach the alter! If you dream is to have a Princess Di train, this is it! Also called a Monarch train, this train generally falls 9 ft from the waist line.

Most brides (royalty excluded) opt for a train no longer than eight feet. A detachable train is usually attached to the dress at the waist via hooks or buttons.

Hope this helps.

about 1.5m

Re: If you want a train on your bridal gown

If you go for a really long train have a loop sewn in on the underside of the train, so that you can slip it onto you wrist when walking around that way you won't step on it, and it will make it more wearable next time.

You can't have a train attached to your dress although you can have a TRAIL.

Re: If you want a train on your bridal gown

^mkd, i think you'll find it is called a bridal train...

Re: If you want a train on your bridal gown

thank you so much for all the info

Re: If you want a train on your bridal gown

this is gorgeous! i think i love the color and although the embroidery is not intricate, it’s still really beautiful and has its own charm. very very elegant and appropriate for a valima! can you tell if its got the scoop in the back of the coat and is straight across in the front?

Re: If you want a train on your bridal gown

whats the difference between TRAIL and TRAIN???pictures??

any pictures of the detachable ones?

Re: If you want a train on your bridal gown

i like this one

they're both the same thing. in gora bridal dresses its called a train and desis call it a trail.

the coat looks like a v-neck, open front style from the front, and a scoop neck from the back. the band across her back, under the scoop looks like it belongs to the undershirt she's got on.

For my taste this one is perfect, not too short or not too long.
