What could it be?
It is customary to distinguish between two types of trains:
- One-piece. In this case, this detail is a continuation of the skirt.
- Removable. This option is more convenient, since the train is attached at the waist or fastened to the skirt.
Length
Nowadays it is customary to distinguish only three train lengths - short, long and medium. But in earlier times a very strict gradation was adopted. The choice of train was determined not by the wishes of the bride, but by the place where the wedding ceremony was planned.
- For a modest wedding, a train no longer than 15 centimeters was chosen. This model is very functional and comfortable to wear; it matches a wedding dress of almost any style.
- To register a marriage at the city hall (in modern realities, at the registry office), dresses from half a meter to a meter in length were chosen.
- If a ceremony is planned in a chapel , then the bride had to choose a dress with a “tail” of from a meter to one and a half. The bride's image is chic and solemn. This type of train looks good with dresses with full skirts.
- For a chic ceremony held in the cathedral , the bride chose a ball gown with a train up to two meters long. In order for the bride to move freely, she needs assistants to help carry the train.
- The royal train is the “tail” of the dress, which is at least two meters long. This outfit is only suitable for weddings that are celebrated on a royal scale.
- Watteau's train is not very long; it can be equal to the length of the dress or be a little longer. Its difference lies in the fact that it originates not from the waist, but from the line of the shoulder blades. This train is attached to the top of the back of the dress. This model goes perfectly with Greek or Empire style dresses.
Some advice for the bride
A dress with a train is a luxurious outfit, but before buying it, you need to think about the appropriateness of such a choice. This “royal” toilet is suitable for a classic wedding. If you are planning an informal celebration (a picnic in nature or a youth party in a bar), then such magnificent attire will be inappropriate.
If, nevertheless, the decision to buy a dress with a train has been made, then the bride should practice wearing it. It is unlikely that a modern girl has such experience, so if she wears a dress for the first time on her wedding day, she may be embarrassed.
If the train of the dress is very long, then you will need to take care in advance about who will help the bride while moving. Usually, wearing a train at the ceremonial part of the holiday is entrusted to young guests. Boys and girls are happy to carry out this honorable mission.
Important tips for choosing
When choosing such an important detail of a wedding dress as a train, you should remember the following rules:
- The bride needs to practice walking in this outfit before the wedding day. When trying on, be sure to sit down, walk around and determine whether the part is comfortable enough. If it is made of materials that are too heavy to allow comfortable movement, other options should be selected.
- The taller the girl, the more options for such outfits suit her. Short and petite girls may appear visually shorter and shorter. The situation will be especially difficult with wedding photographs. It is difficult for a photographer to choose an angle so that the bride’s height is at least average.
- When choosing this outfit detail, you should think about weight. Particularly lush dresses can weigh kilograms. The bride should test whether she can wear this outfit all day long.
- After purchasing, be sure to wear out the shoes that are planned for the wedding day. The bride's gait in such an outfit should be confident and impeccable.
- It is advisable that one of the bride’s friends or sisters monitor the cleanliness and tidiness of this detail. She should help the girl get into the car, straighten the folds of the fabric during the photo shoot, and also have wet wipes and soap with her in case the fabric gets dirty while walking or walking up the steps.
There are many options for wedding dresses with train decoration. If, after weighing all the pros and cons, the bride decides to wear such a wedding dress, she must carefully prepare to look perfect on the most important day. Wearing a wedding dress with an open back and a train is more difficult; you need to constantly monitor your posture, so the bride should practice. This will give her the feeling of lightness and charm that she deserves.
