Sweep Train Bridal Dresses

A sweep train is the most manageable of all wedding dress trains because it’s the shortest in length. This makes it best for the low-maintenance bride who wants to let her dress trail behind her. The length of the train can vary, but the typical length is between one to three feet, with some trains reaching as long as five feet. The fabric used to create a sweep train can also vary and may include satin, organza, tulle, or lace. It's an ideal choice for an outdoor wedding, and it can shine at a simple indoor spot like a courthouse or an intimate restaurant, too. Ahead, sweep trains are usually seen on formal gowns and are often combined with other details such as beading, embroidery, or lace appliques to create a dramatic look. For a shorter train, prom or formal gowns often feature a brush train. Sweep trains look great on mermaid wedding dresses or trumpet silhouettes that flare out just at the bottom, but can also pair well with straight styles that just need a little dash of drama. Zooek has a wide selection of short train prom dresses for choosing that come in a variety of styles, colors, and sizes.
