They probably could but that depends on the 'work' on the train.

I don't mean to be insulting but why did you buy a dress that you did not like the train?

I am sure a seamstress could 'shorten' the train maybe to a small chapel size.

Did you check with the seamstress?

I am sure it could be shortened if you have a good seamstress or a dressmaker.

I agree with Lauren. Talk with the person who will be doing your alterations and they should be able to make it happen.

They probably can 'lift' the detail and use it on a shorter train.

It looks more like a 'chapel' train. They could do a 'sweep' train.

They have so much experience doing alterations. Ask them what options are possible.

BTW: it is a beautiful dress!
