The court train in the rear view
A court train extends beyond the hem more visibly than a sweep train but usually stays closer to the gown than a chapel train. Its length is only one part of the effect: a narrow skirt and a draped skirt can give the same reach different movement.
Robin and Gwen
Robin brings sculptural draping and a front slit into a fluid skirt that continues into a court train. Gwen combines a contoured line and subtle floral details with a low open back above its court-length finish. Robin draws attention to folds and opening at the front; Gwen’s back and quieter surface lead the rear view.
For a shorter extension, compare the sweep train; for more reach, see chapel trains. At a fitting, look at the gown from behind while walking and ask how the train can be managed after the ceremony.
