More Tucking

You have a very wide train. I'm not surprised that it takes more than 3 points to get it all up. You can tuck the extra fabric under the points a little nicer, but the fabric has to go somewhere. The points could be placed closer together but I doubt that will make much difference in the way you feel.

You said "she refused to cut it". Did you ask her to hem the train and she wouldn't ? The train can certainly be shortened. It's a bit of a task but totally doable. Maybe she didn't know how or didn't think she had the time. Hemming a train is a lot of work!
