A train can completely transform your look, no matter what shape your dress is. Trains date from the middle Ages, when the length worn at court indicated a person’s social rank. The premise being the wealthier you were the more fabric you could afford.If you plan to include a train with your dress, even further decisions await: whether you will make a cathedral length, court, chapel or royal train; whether you will make it part of your wedding dress or detachable; and whether you will attach it at the shoulder or waist or elsewhere.

Today, gowns with long chapel and cathedral trains are considered the most formal, lending themselves to bustling following the ceremony. Watteau trains (which spill from the shoulder) and court trains (which start from the waist) are less formal. The sweep gently puddles about a foot behind the wearer, and the detachable train which can be any length and either a flat panel or gathers of fabric — is generally attached to the gown at the waist with buttons or hooks, and then later removed to be a bit less informal and not as imposing.

4. Royal Train

Also known as monarch, this version extends twelve feet or more from the waist. Managing such a huge amount of fabric often requires pages (young boys), who hold up the train as you walk down the aisle — very regal.
