Sweep Train refers to a style of wedding Train described as the shortest and barely touching or sweeping the floor. The Sweep Train is ideal for an informal wedding such as a beach or garden wedding. The train extends about 1 to 2 feet from the waist of the gown. The sweep train adds a romantic finish to a floor length gown without looking too elaborate. Second time brides may choose a sweep train if they are looking for a less formal yet elegant looking wedding dress.
Sweep Train is the shortest of the trains and is also called a Brush Train because it just brushes the floor. Usually, the back hem is only a few inches lower then the front hem. It is perfect for an elegant informal or semi-formal wedding gown. It provides the elegance of a train without to much added fabric in the way.
