Is it possible to alter a train to be longer?

M, on July 6, 2020 at 8:00 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6
Has anyone tried altering their dress to make the train longer? I’m having dress regret because the train isn’t long enough and wondering if I should try to change it or try selling it and finding a new one (I still have time)

    I've never heard of doing this and I'm not sure how easy it would be to achieve. I would talk with the seamstress to see if this is possible.

    I know detachable trains are an option, though I'm not sure if adding on to the existing train is possible, it likely depends on the dress. Definitely check with a seamstress, they would know best on how to do this.

    Do you love it other than the train? You could get a cathedral length veil for that impact during the ceremony

    I like it a lot other than the train- I think my hesitation is partly because I never had an “it’s the one” moment and felt rushed to buy a sample dress because I was afraid I wouldn’t find anything I liked as much or if I did it would be way more expensive (store was going out of business so I couldn’t wait to buy it- it would’ve been gone by the next day)

    Hi M! Did you just buy the dress? If so I'd give yourself a little bit of time and see if you're still torn!

    I didn't have a big "it's the dress moment" - even though I'm obsessed with my dress - so don't put too much pressure on a big "moment"! You can also always amp up your look with accessories and a dramatic veil!
