While Daisy has been thinking about pants, I have been thinking about veils. If a bride has a dress without a train, but is having a formal wedding, should her veil extend past the edge of the dress or should it be elbow length? I have done a little shopping with one of my friends and I am coming to the conclusion that for a formal wedding it is acceptable for the veil to extend past the end of the train.
This image from http://www.visionveils.com/images/cathedral.jpg gives the general idea. Thank you Vision Veils! I like the way it adds the feel of a train to the gown without having the extra fabric. If the veil has a pattern on the edge which echoes the embellishments on the dress, this illusion of a train is even more present. The bride then does not need to worry about bustling the gown for the reception - she can simply remove the veil. Additionally, a cathedral length veil gives the bride height, rather than interrupting the line of her dress at the hips or mid-arm. I would conclude that the combination of a gown without a train with a long veil gives the bride the elegance of a full train without the added cost and hassle.
