i purchest this dress and was married in it it is a lovely dress and is great for a simple wedding (i married in a registry office) and i didnt want the train i took it to a seemstress and was told the layers would not match if i had it taken off so my mum put a loveheart button just above my bottom and lifted the train up till it was all even then added a loop (with ribbon) on to the train and then hooked it on the ruffles looked stunning and also i could put it down for the pictures and hook it back up thru the day also for woman with no waist shape like me or big in the middle but thin arms and legs this is a must have it makes you look thin hope this helped
