These days, not as many wedding dresses have trains, at least in America. Many brides have realized that extra fabric on a wedding dress ends up costing them a little more. That, plus the fact that they cant see that part of their wedding dress all that well, and it drags on the ground, has made the train an extra accessory that some brides decide to eliminate.

However, theres nothing as elegant as the train on a wedding dress. Every royal bride has a long train as an integral part of their wedding gowns; that shows the regality of the bride, who deserves to feel like a queen on her special day. Wedding trains bring glamour, especially if it looks like it was part of the original design, as opposed to an add-on.

In general, there are six types of trains that wedding dresses can have. Lets take a look at each one.

The royal train is the longest of all trains, and of course, by the name, you know this is the type of train that the royals will have as their wedding dresses. Royal trains are extreme; they go back at least 10 feet, and obviously were planned to be there, as the silhouettes theyre attached to are blended so that the gown is seamless. This will definitely make the bride the center of attention.

The next train is pretty long also, and its known as the cathedral train. This train extends between 6 to 9 feet, and, as the term indicates, this was the traditional wedding train for religious ceremonies for centuries, and is still worn by todays brides for mainly Catholic ceremonies.

The next train that comes into religious favor is the chapel train, which only extends from 4 to 5 feet. This train was also a traditional religious train, but not for as extensively religious ceremonies as the cathedral train.

The court train comes in around 3 feet, and traditionally this was for weddings of lesser royals such as duchesses and countesses, though it was regal in its own way.

The sweep train is one that barely touches the ground, kind of sweeping the ground but not by much. This is probably the most popular train with todays brides.

The last train is more of an attachment than originally part of the wedding dress. Known as the watteau, it attaches to the top of the wedding dress at the shoulders, then falls to the length of your dress, or further.

Of course, wedding dresses dont have to have trains, but it just adds so much glamour to the occasion that we hope more brides decide to return to the days of long and elegant trains.

Appropriate protective apparel is crucial when working in environments that involve frequent exposure to hazardous particles and chemicals, from mold remediation to environmental clean-up. Disposable protective garments are often convenient options for workers who wish to throw out their uniforms after a single use. However, many disposable garments continue to provide the necessary protection through several uses, making it possible to recycle disposable uniforms. This greener solution for workplace safety saves money and reduces waste, while still offering the same protection of a brand new garment. Below, learn more about the benefits of recycled disposable protective clothing.

Protection and Comfort:
Disposable suits and uniforms that have gone through the proper recycling process offer the same superior protection provided by garments that have never been used. Fabrics such as microporous film laminate work as a strong barrier against dangerous particles, such as lead or asbestos, while still allowing you to breathe and move freely for maximum comfort. These types of protective clothing allow you to stay clean and comfortable in even the messiest situations. With protective clothing, you can still wear your regular clothes without risking stains, damage and potentially ruining your favorite apparel.

Green Solution:
With each disposable article of clothing that is thrown out after a single use, the amount of waste collecting in landfills increases. Recycling perfectly usable protective garments helps reduce this waste, allowing workers and businesses to participate in greener living solutions from which everyone can benefit. By purchasing recycled protective clothing, you are helping to extend the life and use of the products, helping to keep the fabric out of the trashcan and landfill. It is just one more example of a small change you can participate in that, globally, can be part of a big difference.

Affordability:
In addition to reducing waste and contributing to a greener and safer environment, recycled disposable protective clothing helps cut costs. Tossing usable garments after each use leads to more money continually spent on new uniforms. Recycled protective suits that have been purchased at a fraction of the cost allow you to save money while still receiving the protection required to remain safe and clean on the job.

Versatility:
Whether you are a general maintenance worker or a medical researcher, there are new or recycled disposable protective garments that fit your needs. Various styles include coveralls, lab coats, aprons, disposable shoe covers and jackets. Serving a wide range of industries, including chemical processing, pharmaceutical research and electronics assembly, the benefits of recycled protective clothing are limitless.

Nothing affected the western world as the World War II and the little black dress was no exception as well. In fact, many experts believe that the little black dresses were made popular because there was a shortage of fabric that was hugely needed to manufacture the uniform of the soldiers. Whether that was an exaggeration or not, the little black dress gave women of that period a lot of liberty and much needed style to cheer about. For Femme Fatales like Marilyn Monroe the dress gave even more opportunity to seduce. During 1940s and 50s, the trend remained popular largely because it was elegant and stylish. What better way to start the little black dress detox than with its exact polar opposite – the little white dress. I know most of you will be apprehensive about this idea, after all wearing white in a party where red wine is served is a terrifying thought. But a white dress in a sea of people in little black dresses can instantly turn you into a vision. >

Another trick that the white dress does is it makes you more approachable in parties or gatherings. Using the movie and TV trope of good guy wears white and bad guy wears black, wearing a white dress gives you the impression of being light, carefree and innocent, so people tend to walk up to you more easily, whereas darker colored clothes makes you look aloof, or should I say fashionably aloof?

The trend changed a little in the 1960s. After the World War was over, the conservatism set in with a new zeal. However, in the 1960s, the new generation ventured out for experimentation with something new and bold. Likewise, fashion designers came up with miniskirts, slits and other bold designs. It was during that time when Audrey Hepburn made her famous appearance in the LBD in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The trend died down a little in the 1970s though the LBD was, by no means, out of vogue. It was colors rather than black that was the order of the day.

The little black dress again took the center stage in 1980s. The craze for fitness, and search of sleek designs kept it trendy even in the 1990s. However, people had already started experimenting with various lengths of the LBDs. Even in the 21st century, the LBD seems to dominate the fashion world. It is elegant, practical, useful and very appealing. Certainly, you can’t ask for any better combination than that. Plus, of course, there is the amazingly wide price range from $50 to anything close to a few thousand.

Flapper dresses signalled the changing landscape of society when they became very popular during the 1920s. At that time girls shocked their parents with the short bob hair cut and dresses that came to the knees. Prior to that dresses always ended below the ankles and absolutely no skin was on show. All this changed and suddenly the slim silhouette and boyish figures were now the in look and flapper dresses became de rigueur.

This change came about because the restrictions of wartime were gone and this period in history came to be known as the Art Deco movement, an era when Hollywood movies reigned. Jazz music was all the scene and women would dance the night away doing the Charleston in their flapper dresses, living their lives with gay abandon.

Notable Hollywood movies that depicted the era were the films of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and women like Mary Pickford and Bette Davis carried off the style with cool finesse.

Musicals that celebrated that era included Cole Porter’s Anything Goes, The Boyfriend, and No No Nannette.

So although flapper dresses originally entered fashion in the 1920s, the trend is still relevant today because elements can still be seen today on the catwalks of Paris and Milan where fashion designers continue to embrace the simple form of these dresses, adding their own twist to reinvent and update the basic style template.

So get those cocktail glassed filled with champagne, put on some Cole Porter music and get swinging.
