Watteau Flow
I need help with Wedding Gown Terms…?
Ok ive found the bodice that i love, Empire
But what do these trains mean
* Sweep
* Court
* Chapel
* Semi-cathedral
* Cathedral
* Watteau
* Fishtail
The only one i kind of know is fishtail.
Is there a name for no train (no bit that flows back) i want it to go down, and seeing as i want the dress to be floor length there will be a little bit of drag, but is there a name for that? so i can refine the search a little easier?
also do you class this dress as white? because it says white but it doesnt look it, i was wondering if it was because it was made of silk…

Sweep Train
Sweep: the shortest dress train, it goes back 8 to 12 inches after touching the floor.
Chapel Train
Chapel: extends 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 feet from the waist.
Chapel Veil
