But I don't want a train

[paap1975]

Hello,
I'm getting married, outdoors in France in June 2018. I'm looking for a dress, probably a-line, probably lace, preferably with a corset-back, but that doesn't have a train. I hate them with a vengeance and from my sister and SIL's experiences, know that they are a logistical nightmare.
So, do you any of you have any suggestions for a suitable dress, or do any of you know if I can just get the train bit chopped off?
Budget is 100-1200 ideally.
Thank you!

You can have dresses altered to include or remove a train, certainly.

Mine had a giant train
But the seamstress offered to take it off if I didn't like it

I good seamstress should be able to remove a train for you, if you really don't like it. Or perhaps you could have a removable one, so you could have one for the ceremony, but remove it later. But either way, it is possible.

Thank you all. I was concerned because the trains I have seen seem to be part of the skirt, rather than something separate. Going for my first trying on session at the end of the month and want to know what I am talking about

My SIL hated her dress by the end of the day. It was heavy, she kept having to hoist it up, it had a huge bow on the back which she begged us to cut off, and the skirt/train was getting in the way so much that we tied it all up with hairbands so she could move around without being trodden on all the time. Not to mention that the groom couldn't get anywhere near here and that they couldn't do their much-practised first dance. I am keen to avoid all of those problems

I had a train that was pretty long but my clever seamstress put a button and a loop into my dress so that I could fold it up in the evening
But I was having such fun swooshing round that I left it long and didn't even use the bustle

Seamstress chopped mine off, no problem at all. It was, as you say, an integral part of the skirt.

Similar train to mrspringles it was actually a really fun dancing accessory (with a wrist loop)

I got married outdoors in Italy in summer and had a small train. The seamstress chopped the lining of the train off to make it lighter and then added a button and loop for me to hook it up to dance in the evening. Without the lining it was super light (chiffon) and didn't bother at all. I also had a chapel length veil! So not necessarily a nightmare!

Thank you. These replies are all very helpful

Mine had a detachable train....it hooked on the skirt, hidden under the bodice, and had a loop near the end which could also hook on at the waist band so I had it long till the reception, hooked up for the start of the dancing, and abandoned it some time after that! But certainly, it's your day so if you don't want one, don't have one! if only that applied to mother in laws

Some examples that you might like forwhen you go dress hunting?

Some more

I had one that looped up too and then had the seamstress alter it after to remove it as I still wear the dress.

I thought it was fairly standard to have a wrist loop, and if the design permits another loop so that it hooks up into a bustle thingy at the back out of the way?

But if you don't want one, there are loads and loads of designs that don't have one or where it's relatively simple to remove it

You can also get dresses with a separate overskirt for the ceremony. You then remove this skirt for the evening and have more of a streamlined dress for dancing, etc. Sorry if I've not explained very well but I really thought it was a good idea when I saw it recently.

Thanks Rebel. I particularly like the one on the white background.

I had a small one on mine (puddle train?) it was just lace from the overlay on the dress so was really light, didn't get in the way at all, I got married outdoors as well, on a beach.
