I fell in love with a dress and bought it even though the train is way too long for my taste, age (40), it being my second wedding, and it being a barn wedding. I was told they could cut off all the lace part to the edge of the dress which still gave allowed me to have some train which I want and is still pretty without the lace so I purchased the dress. I am having a change of heart the more I stare at the dress am thinking I want to keep some of the lace part of the train as it looks so pretty and wish I could just have it shortened instead of removing the back lace part all together. Has anyone had experience or know if you can shorten a train with lace detail like this? Will my only options be to cut the entire lace part off or leave it long. I do not want it bustled for the ceremony and want to show off the part of the train that I do have. During the reception I plan on bustling it depending on the end result length. I would ask my seamstress but I haven't gotten to that point in the process to ask. It will be a while till that happens and just need some reassurance it can be done or have my expectation set correctly and move on. Pictures attached. Thank you.
