The Train Flip

This is a technique that I know many Bridal Alteration Specialists have been doing for many years but I did not have any bridal customer of mine like the idea until recently. This gown belongs to a friend of mine who did not like any of the Ballroom or French options, so I suggested we try to flip the train under and she loved it. It took 13 points to get the whole train to rest evenly along the back of the dress but it was worth the effort. The Pick-up point loops are along the underside edge of the hem and the Anchor point hooks are sewn to the lining only and positioned as needed to get the whole train to flip under itself. It was not difficult but did take a bit longer to design and execute than my other bustle designs.
