I’m trying to decide whether my train is better described as cathedral or chapel. I know it doesn’t really matter but I wonder.

Guess who’s bored today?

I think I’d just convinced myself that it didn’t look long enough to be called a cathedral train even though it was 9 feet from the waist.

Chapel Length Train: A chapel train is generally 1 1/3 yards or 4 feet from the waistline.
Semi-Cathedral Length Train: A semi-cathedral is about half way between a chapel and cathedral length. Perfect for a semi-formal or formal wedding gown.
Cathedral Length Train: A cathedral train is generally 2 1/2 yards or 7 1/2 feet from the waistline.
Royal Train: Also called a Monarch train, this train generally falls 9 ft from the waist line and is only used for the most formal wedding.
so you had a royal train.

It is inbetween two lengths:
Cathedral Train – extends past 6 to 8 feet
Royal Cathedral Train – extends 10 feet or more
That dress is so freaking pretty, I loved watching the process of it getting made.

I think it’s just because it was theoretically the same length as Kate Middleton’s but I’m sure it looks shorter.

I really wish I’d got some better pictures my dress from behind. Even in the post-wedding shoot I didn’t get one that really showed off the scale of it. Maybe I should do another one with a female photographer who gets my dress obsession.

Did you use a hoop skirt, or a crinoline? If crinoline, where did you get it?

I think a crinoline is just layers of tulle and cloth, but a hoop skirt relies on boning (the “hoops”) to make it poof out. But someone please correct me if I’m wrong!
