my first wedding gown was a beautiful straight demetrios gown that had a huge detachable train, and under it (when you popped the train off) was a fake bustled train.

I had a seamstress use the fake bustle to make my children's christening gown & bonnet, but my dress and the detachable train are still intact, should my daughter ever be interested in using it!

It was really sweet to christen them in what was once part of my wedding gown - so much more special than just going to the store and buying something
