We all know what a train on a wedding dress is, don't we? In the simplest terms, yes we do. But when a bride goes to choose her wedding dress she will usually find options that she did not know existed. But there is no need for any bride to go into a wedding dress store unprepared and risk feeling foolish. Take a look at this brief run down of train options:
Detachable Train: Popular with brides who plan a dance as a part of their wedding reception since the detachable train is joined to the gown at the waistline with hooks and eyes, and can be removed for the reception.
Watteau: The Watteau train is a separate piece of material (that may or may not be detachable) that falls from the back yoke of the dress.
Caplet Train: The Caplet Train is also a separate piece of material that flows from the back of the shoulders.
Sweep or Brush: Just as the name implies, the train barely touches the floor.
Court: A slightly more formal train, extending one foot longer than the sweep train.
Chapel: An even longer train which extends about 1 1/3 yards from the waist. This is the most popular train of young brides of today.
Cathedral: Aka, the Monarch Train. The Cathedral train trails the bride by six to eight feet. This option is usually chosen for the most formal of wedding events short of royal weddings.
Royal: flowing more than 3 yards from the waist. This is the longest train. Usually this is only chosen for the marriages of queens and princesses.
