This detachable train is part of a set of wedding costume. It consists of a cream long-sleeved wedding dress which is fitted at the waist with an ankle length A-line skirt, a modest style that was typical of wedding dresses in the early 1970s, a detachable train, a bonnet veil and a pair of matching white gloves. The items are embellished with intricate embroidery, which are made from tulle and rayon. The entire set of items were purchased from a boutique in the Phillippines.
