your hight versus length of your train....

Does anyone know if there is a proper proportion to this?

I tried on a dress Thursday night and the lady helping me said the chapel train I think was perfect for me b/c i'm not too tall (I'm like 5'3)

I always dreamed of a HUGEEEEEEEEEEE train that would be sprawling all out on the floor that i'd need to bustle or detatch.

and also how does the veil work? How do you pick the length?

I'm not sure, I've had people tell me different things. I'm shorter than you (5'0) and one place told me to go with chapel or sweep train with a very short veil, another told me I can go with whatever train lenght I want, just keep the veil short. My only concern is that I don't want the train to make me look even shorter and I don't want the bustle to be too huge behind me. But, I do want a longer train so I think we're in the same boat

exactly -- i've been to 3 places and that is only what one woman said. I'll keep you informed.

I'm about your height and my train is a cathedral train. The only thing is that it is detachable so I will only have it for the ceremony.

to be honest- i would wear what you have always dreamed of, i too am about 5'2 5'3 but will be wearing heels... I have always dreamed of a cathderal train- and I WILL be wearing one...It makes me feel so bridey and who is going to really say- oh my gosh- look at her, her train is too long?????? anyone that would say that is just ridiculous! go with what you love

I am 5'0 and wearing a semi cathedral train and a catherdral veil as well...Wear what you want not what other people tell you that you 'should wear' ITS YOUR DAY!!!

I say wear it how you like it but I have heard that you do not want it too short or it will bunch up in front of your face and you won't be able to see, likewise others will not be able to see your face!
