Every little girl looks forward to her wedding day and fantasizes about picking out the most beautiful wedding gown, but never have I wanted to cause as much of a scene as a two-mile long bridal train would. How is that even possible, let alone practical?!
Romanian design house, Andree Salon, was responsible for extravagant creation that encompasses a 1.85 mile-long train which set the world record. Taking 100 days to complete and requiring the work of about 10 seamstresses, this bridal gown is the most ridiculous I’ve ever seen. This 17 year old model wore it up in a hot air balloon over Bucharest, Romania’s capital as part of Bucharest’s 2012 Biannual Wedding fair in March. Usually I think models are lucky to have the luxury of modeling wedding gowns, but there’s not way this could have been an easy task.
There are so many questions swirling around in my head about this one. It has to be just for show and not a serious gown for one to get married in, dance and have fun, right?
What are your thoughts on this over-the-top gown?

The dress is kind of pretty, but the ridiculously long train is dumb.

I think it’s just for the sake of showing off “skill”?
guest
I think that’s kind of cool but it’s obviously for show. I don’t think anyone would want a train so long.

@MistyEyes22@xanga - you don’t really need skill to make a long train just a lot of fabric so it’s more like wanting to set a world record – equally stupid.
guest
it’s ridiculous.

He could have just made another hot air balloon with all that fabric.

I think her dress is pretty…with a shorter, more manageable train. (Perhaps enough only to bustle? 12 feet would be impressive enough for any girl…unless you’re the Queen or Celine Dion.) Some people go to extreme lengths to make their mark. (Pardon the bad pun.)

I think it looks cooler than like if you actually had to drag it around. I think her smile is beautiful and she looks like she had a lot of fun wearing it. I’m getting married soon and I’m opting for a simple and elegant dress myself. I agree that should anyone actually choose this dress it probably means they are more about showing off than about being genuine. I think it’s a fake’s choice and a pretty phony choice, but it as an Artistic Representation is Neat still. I don’t know. That’s my opinion in a nutshell.

Looks cool with the hot air balloon, though.

Two much dress. Who would wear such a thing to their actual wedding? An empress with a whole army to hold it up for her?
guest
looks like they got what they wanted – free publicity.
guest
Okay, that is just silly. I don’t even want a train on my gown!
guest
if there was no train, that dress would be beautiful!
