Turn To Trains: For A Dramatic Entry & Exit!

One of fashion’s most iconic pieces and a red carpet favourite among celebrities, gowns are regarded as glamorous staples!

Since its creation, this coveted classic has continued to evolve. Design masterminds worldwide have introduced different styles of gowns, including sheath-style silhouettes and mermaid dresses which flaunt one’s form spectacularly! Also – how can we forget the very famous ball gown? Nothing is more magnificently beautiful than a ball gown that is ethereal and fantastical with a full skirt and a tight bodice. 

Fresh takes on tailoring and style have proved perfect for today’s unflinching woman. While volume in embroidered gowns is relatively familiar, the fashion world has seen an influx of a certain dramatic detail—trains. Full of movement and dreamy, this addition has been seamlessly skimming down runways worldwide. 

Trains give you that ‘all too cool’ feeling and are all about attitude & edge. After Priyanka Chopra and Meghan Markle walked down the aisle drenched in the charm of trains and tails, floor-sweeping gowns became a sensation again. They look ultra-romantic and are the best choice for pulling off a picturesque and distinctive entry and exit while making a goddess-like appearance. 

Trains feel grand and luxe but also otherworldly. From bold colours to unusual necklines, take a sinful and devil-may-care attitude to dress up, and then amp it up further with the train flair. Explore our edit, and bookmark these gowns with trains and tails to accentuate your swings.

Chapel Trains

The chapel train is the most commonly seen and is typically 18 inches long. There is no surprise that a long train exudes a regal feeling. Princess-inspired trains are a surefire way to grab attention and make a memorable statement, whether attending a lavish outdoor celebration or a black-tie event. 

The trains add a dramatic touch to A-line gowns without being too complicated and look gorgeous. This style is perfect if you’re looking for attention-grabbing trains without going overboard. It adds a dramatic look to any gown and exudes that fairytale feeling.

Sweep Trains

Sweep trains also add jaw-dropping extravagance to your ensemble. They are modern, delightful and only lightly brush the ground. A sweep train is not more than a few inches longer than the gown’s skirt and adds a touch of elegance to the look.

This style works wonders with modern trumpet cuts, waist-defining bodices, and more understated sheath cuts and is excellent for outdoor events. For those who love dramatic and impactful ensembles, the sweep train dress is a beautiful balance between floor-length and chapel-length trains.

Fishtail Trains

If you are looking for an ethereal style, fishtail dresses are sure to turn some heads. These gowns infuse a high level of femininity, embodying nothing but elegance.

This classic silhouette is all about the curves. It’s glamorous, dramatic and perfect for showing off your shape. Stylishly body-hugging, the fishtail gown contours the body from the chest to the knee, then flares out in the back. The fit-and-flare style is whimsical, mythical, and romantic.
