Can I have a train cutt off a dress and it still look right??

Does anyone know if it is possible to have train cutt off a dress and the dress will still look right? Is it hard to find a alteration place that will do this? I bought my drss at david's bridal and from what I read online they won't do it. This is my dress.

David's wont do it because they have a  contract with whoever designed their gowns that they will not alter them in any way at all.  The only exception is taking it in, or hemming it, obviously.

Why won't this thread show up?  All I am getting is a "Reply to a Message" box?  I'm confused

I think you could take it to a different alterations place, which is pretty much standard recom for anyone who buys their dress from DB, and I'd bet they shorten it.

I am using my mothers dress and to save some money I cut the sleeves off and the train off.  Honestly I could wear it the way it looks right now and it would look fine.  I dont recomend doing it yourself so go to a seamstress. The only reason I did it myself is A. I would get charged for her to cut a few threads and B. where I cut will most likely be covered by something or snipepd in the end anyway.  Good Luck.
