Should I have the train shortened?

lisa3185

I have to have my dress hemmed for length but I would also love to shorten the train a bit.  Do you think this dress would look good with a shorter train?  I'm afraid it may look slightly disproportioned.

I think it looks great the way it is.

Totally agree! It doesn't look too long for a ceremony, and a bustle will fix you up for the reception!

If there is an in-store alterations person, ask her to pin it up for you so that you can see what it will look like after alterations (and when bustled). I was told by an alterations worker that when the dress is hemmed, there will also be changes to the train, especially if you need a lot taken off.

But I agree with the other posts... looks great with the train!

I think it looks great the way it is and once you are done with the ceremony you can always get it bustled away.
