Wedding dress has 2-mile-long train

The train, which ties the record for longest in the world, is made from 6 miles of silk.
Young couples are doing everything in their power to get noticed on their big day, from over-the-top wedding proposals and engagement rings to wearing Vera Wang's new batch of red bridal gowns.But if a bride really wants to turn heads, nothing could possibly top wearing Gianni Molaro's latest wedding gown. The Italian designer's silk and tulle dress features a train that's nearly two miles long! 

Short, casual, beachy, and affordable wedding dresses 

The record-breaking style was displayed this week cascading down the steps of the Trinita dei Monti Renaissance church in Rome, Italy, to celebrate the opening of Molaro's new design studio. According to the Daily Mail, the sheer gauzy train, made of 1.86 miles of tulle and six miles of silk , was worn by Elena De Angelis last September for her wedding to Ferdinand Pucci in Casal di Princice in Naples. It took dozens of seamstresses months to create, and required 600 volunteers to keep it off the ground as De Angelis drove to the church in a vintage car. We imagine that was quite a sight for her 20,000 guests and thousands of onlookers. This bridal train now ties for the world's longest--Andree Salon, a Bucharest fashion label, debuted an equally long style flowing down from a hot air balloon earlier this year.
