Gown Train
Lengths Available
Sweep/Brush
This is the
shortest train available, extending about 0.25m beyond the base
of the gown. In fact, this does not really look too much like a
train at all, as the hem spills just a little over floor length.
This is very elegant and very slimming.
Court
The same length as a sweep train, however the court
train extends directly from the waist (approx
1m).
Chapel
This is the first of the gowns to have a full train.
Generally, the length will not extend beyond 1.5 metres in length
from the waist. Whilst you will need assistance with setting the
train out when you arrive at the church/ceremony, and during photos,
you do not require assistance when walking down the isle.
Semi-Cathedral
A
semi-cathedral is about half way between a chapel and cathedral
length. Perfect for a semi-formal or formal wedding gown.
(approx 1.8m from the waist)
Cathedral
This train is no more than 2 metres in length (from
the waist). Again, you will only require assistance when arriving at
the church and setting up for photographs. Walking will not be
difficult as the fabric will simply follow. Only when the gown has a
very heavily adorned train will you require assistance as you
walk.
Royal (Monarch)
This is the Princess Diana train, being quite long.
Generally, this train sits no more than 2.5 metres in length (from
the waist); however, royal weddings will have trains far exceeding
these measurements.
