Modest Wedding Dress without a Train

In St. Louis there are private schools that require girls to wear a white wedding dress for the graduation ceremony.
I've had two board members from schools in the shop to inquire about our modest wedding dresses. I've been told that there was a wardrobe malfunction mishap at a graduation ceremony. (Yikes).

We've had many brides this year request a train removal or opting for shorter trains. There are many styles already in the store, but I wanted a wider selection.

These lovely wedding dresses will be in the shop in September.

You can find examples of the gowns here: Gallery 5 at Chatfields

Let me know what you think of the styles. Would you wear a wedding dress without a train?

Last Minute Brides

Most bridal stores ask that brides choose a wedding dress anywhere from 9 months to a year before their wedding date. Ha, ha, ha. I laugh because I don't believe I've ever had a bride with that much time before their wedding date. Typically my brides range on average 2 to 6 months.

In April, I had a bride that came into the shop on Tuesday and her wedding was the following Friday. That was 8 days prior to her wedding date.

Last night, I had a bride that is getting married on Saturday! That is only three days. My lovely bride takes the prize! She had purchased another bridal gown which wasn't modest enough for her and was going to add a jacket. Her friend found our store and called us. Can you believe the dress almost fit her perfectly? No alterations needed.

Of course we try to accommodate our brides schedules and we often offer our sample dresses as a solution.
