Adding train to dress

If you truly found the perfect dress there would be no need for all those alterations. But alas, ask a seamstress who would be best to answer this type of question as well as provide you the cost

I would send your seamstress a pic, at least n ask their opinion.

Understand that a used dress most likely will not color-match to a brand new one. That would affect the ability to add something that looks as if it was always there.

I would definitely ask the consultants to ask if the designer does extra train length additions for a price. it would be easier and more cost efficient than having a seamstress painstakingly take apart and re-apply applique for a longer train out of a dress that's smaller.

I keep picturing a big seam where the old train and the new one meet, myself - but I am not a seamstress by any stretch of the imagination

Norman, who designed your dress? My designer didn't say it was an option

The second dress is only $150. Not a lot compared to the price of it new 2.5k
