Does anyone know of any designers that will make wedding dresses without the train?
29.September, 2009
I have only found one dress maker that gives you the option of changing their dresses and that is Casa Blanca. They allow you to eliminate the train, change the neckline, add sleeves, etc. Does anyone know of any other designers that will do this?
Thanks!
I don’t know of specific designers, but I went to many bridal stores that told me if I found a dress I like that I wanted slight changes to (like the neckline, hem detail, etc) it was easy to have altered after I order the dress. It’s also possible to add sashes and extra beading details to most styles of dresses, as long as you order them far enough in advanced.
In terms of eliminating the train, I’m sure this is also possible when you sit down with the store to order your dress. Most wedding gowns you purchase from smaller/private bridal stores are "made to order" from the suppliers since it is costly for designers to keep hundreds of of pre-made dresses in warehouse that might not get purchased. That is why it takes so long to have a dress ordered, and why most bridal store don’t offer refunds … once you order someone is making that dress for you, so you can’t cancel that.
That means you have a lot of customization that can be done to a dress at the time it is ordered. I almost ordered one and they told me I could even change the colour of all the beading!

I don’t know any designers but shop around at some dress stores. Some dresses are made with detachable trains & have some kind of embellishment where the train connects to hide the area where it can be added or removed.

You will have to contact them (via email on their official sites). Quite a few designers are not really open to changing their designs around.
You can browse http://www.dressfinder.com which has links to nearly every designer in the US and UK to see what all is available.

I almost bought a dress from a store, and talked in details about making changes to customize the dress I picked. I was going to have two dresses, one for the ceremony and one for the reception but I changed my mind. My mom was going to make one, and then buy one, but since I designed the one she is making, I loved it too much to buy another one.
