That's interesting, because I have a couple of gowns with trains, short ones as you've mentioned and the people that step on my train are friends that are walking close to me. I don't recall a train being stepped upon by someone I don't know. But I take an attitude when I'm wearing such gowns, slow and graceful usually and people generally clear a path for me. And if I'm concern with the closeness of the crowd, I'll pick up the train - well easy enough when it's an overgown that is trained.

I may not be able to handle it well, or correctly, or gracefully, or with finesse, or expediently -- but I will handle it. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
