What is it?
It is ....

Cathedral Train
A very formal option, the Cathedral extends six and a half to seven and a half feet from the waist.

A cathedral train is one of the longest types of trains, second only in length to the “royal train” which trails approximately extends six and a half to seven and a half feet from the waist to the hem at the back of the gown.

The royal train is also occasionally referred to as the “Princess Di train” in honor of the massive train featured on the wedding gown worn by by Diana, Princess of Wales during her wedding to Prince Charles. The chapel train is the train most commonly featured on wedding gowns, and is slightly over 1 yard (about 4 feet) from the waist of the dress to the back hem. The shortest type of train is known as the “sweeping train” or "brush train” as it just brushes or sweeps the floor, falling only a few inches longer at the back hem than at the front. As the length of a train is proportionate to the formality of the dress, the sweeping train is the shortest and therefore most informal of the most common types of trains.

The cathedral train is most commonly found on strapless or halter neck wedding gowns, although it’s also featured on wedding gowns with cap sleeves, three-quarter-length sleeves and long sleeves. The cathedral train may feature a “scalloped” design at the hem as well as embroidery or pleats. It may also feature “lifts,” which are gentle wave-like folds in the fabric. A cathedral train is especially suited to gowns with a mermaid-style or trumpet-style skirt, which is a type of skirt that's fitted at the waist and flares below the knees all the way to the hem of the train.
