SPINOFF to train: Whats the difference?

From what I gather the chapel is like two feet or so, then semi, then cathedral, then royal is like 6 feet or something. I think Marys has a berakdown.

Ok...just Googled & here's what i found

- SWEEP - This is a shortest type of train. It gently sweeps the floor and is normally only a few inches longer than the gown itself, about 8' to 12' in length.

- COURT - This type of train extends about 3 feet (about 1 yard) from the waist.

- CHAPEL - This tpe of train extends approximately 4 feet (about 1 1/3 yards) from the waist.

- SEMI-CATHEDRAL - This type of train extends approximately 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 feet from the waist.

- CATHEDRAL - This train extends approximately 9 feet (3 yards) from the waist.

- ROYAL - This train type measures 3 or more yards from the waist. This type of train is mainly associated with royal weddings (think Princess Diana!)

Ladies, what would this be?

Bari-- yours looks like the same length as mine which is CHAPEL (according to the gown's website).
