Design features
The bride can independently choose a cable between removable and one-piece. Many designers are of the opinion that the best solution is to lay out a train in the form of a tournament. To do this, he is slightly lifted, and then attached so that his lower fold coincides with the length of the skirt. Then the train lends itself to draping.
There are several ways:
- Thread loops are attached to buttons that are placed on the waist of the dress, and then this design is masked using a variety of decors, such as rhinestones, lace or appliqués.
- On the inside of the upper skirt, loops cling to which a train, previously lined with folds, is attached.
- An alternative way is to use only one loop, which must first be sewn to the train, and put on the wrist or finger for the celebration.
- A train in the form of a cape allows fastening to the back or the straps of the dress.
In turn, solid-cut cables can also have several varieties:
- decorative elements begin to be used from the knees (model "Mermaid");
- the train is sewn along the waistline;
- from the hem of the dress, then the train refers to the continuation of the wedding dress;
- from the hips.
Designs of magnificent dresses are still divided into single-layer and multi-layer. For sewing a skirt, which consists of several layers, various fabrics are usually used. They can vary both in texture and in color.

Often, when making lush outfits, an atlas is used. Its front side is smooth and shiny, so it looks solemn, and the wrong side is characterized by dullness. Charmeuse is a subtle variety of satin. Charmeuse wedding dress is elegant and beautiful.
