We all love the bridal party, they keep us entertained with the unscripted drama that always unfolds. Mother of the bride proudly dabbing her tears and possibly smudging her makeup too, the page boy who can almost remember where he left the ring...almost, but most of us keep our eyes glued to the pretty girls who have the greatest task of all; to carry and constantly rearrange the train of the bridal gown.
Many women have often believed that a long lace-trimmed train is the perfect icing to top off their wedding dress and make the look complete. We are all attracted to the fairy-tale princess feel of wearing a dress that is several yards too long and needs to be picked up at the skirt for every step that we take. We love the attention that bridal trains command, every turn, every move that we make is echoed and exaggerated. It whispers behind us like a grand but silent shadow..or maybe isn’t quite as silent as we think.
A train is more than just that extra fabric, it is a punctuation mark in the entire outfit. It can make or break the whole look that we are trying to achieve. Modern tailoring has made it possible to easily customize and alter gowns to match our personalized idea of a perfect dress. This is both a blessing and a curse because there is no one to save us from ourselves. No one to step in and stop us from adding trains where they don’t belong, or using fabrics that simply don’t work. Contrary to what we see in the pictures, trains don’t always behave themselves and follow where you lead them, instead they swirl and swish around, generously cleaning the floor as they go by. They often require constant attention and need to be pulled and spread out like a picnic blanket, repeatedly. It’s supposed to be your special day why should your train get all the pampering?
