Trains: Introduction

The final aspect of selecting the perfect gown is the train. Unlike the neckline or sleeves, the train is not a necessary part of your dress.

You would not want to have a cathedral length train if you are having a summer wedding at the beach. You will find the various train options described in this chapter, as well as tips to match your special occasion with the appropriate train.
