Custom Detachable Train

This bride ordered extra matching fabric and buttons when she bought her dress to have a custom detachable train built. After doing the hem alteration, I got to work drafting a detachable train that matched the pleat pattern preexisting on the dress back. The train is fully lined with self fabric with a center back seam for lining up the buttons that go the full length of the train. The top of the detachable train is finished with self bias tape. The train then attaches with hooks and handsewn loops under the waist band to create a seamless transition.
