Custom Make Your Own Detachable Train for Your Gown

You want something of your mother's or grandmother's with you on your special day, so you can reuse and restyle their gown's train and make it your own. What a nice heirloom to hand down through the generations!

Or maybe you found your perfect gown but it was designed without a train and now you want to add a train to it. You may have purchased a used gown or discontinued style and the detachable train is missing.

To make your own train for your gown, you need to buy or redesign the lace or tulle, or both, and add attachments to the back waist of the gown. You can do this with satin buttons and loops or with snaps that can be hidden by a bow or lace.

The photo below shows a beautiful detachable train elegantly attached below the buttons.

If your gown is of a more formal design and you want to add a bit of elegance to it, design and attach a long, cathedral train to it with tulle and lace or satin and lace.

By making it detachable, you then have the option of adding buttons and loops to bustle it for the reception, or you can remove it all together.

For a more informal look, you can choose a chapel length or sweep length, one that just sweeps the floor about a foot from the gown's hem. Either of these lengths is perfect for either a formal gown or an informal gown.

You can make your own detachable train with all tulle and add some embellishments to it with appliques or you can buy lace that matches your gown and have a full lace train. The gown is yours, the train is yours - make it how you want for your special day!
