Watteau Train refers to a type/style of a Train that is
characterized by the way the single panel attaches to the Top of the dress, either at the shoulders or the upper back of th e bodice. This train can be the same length as the rest of the gown so that it falls straight down to the ground, or it can extend out behind the bride for a more dramatic look. Since this type of train is not as common as the others, it can be adapted to fit many different occasions, depending on the way its worn. If it is a destination wedding on the beach, and the bride wears a a slinky column dress, a sheer Watteau train would look beautiful by adding just a touch of formality to an otherwise casual look.
