Bridal Gown Breaks World Record
Bucharest, Romania – The latest record-no-one-knew-you could-break has been unveiled. A bridal gown with a train almost two miles long to be exact. With this monstrosity a Romanian design house debuted the longest bridal train known to man.
The Andree Salon, a Bucharest fashion label, hired 10 seamstresses to toil away on the Guinness World Record-breaking dress for 100 days. The imported material alone, including French lace and Italian taffeta, cost $7,300. That’s not including labor and the dramatic floating runway show.
On Tuesday, a runway model debuted the record breaker outside the Bucharest Palace of the Parliament. The Abdree Salon was hoping that the Netherlands was paying attention as they held the previous record, which wasn’t even a mile long.
Romania was able to take special pleasure in the win as there has been a long time political feud between the countries. The Netherlands campaigned heavily to keep Romania outside the European Union.
Alin Caraman, an organizer of the train’s big debut, told the Associated Press,
“If the Netherlands does not allow us into Europe, we’ll take them out of the world records book,”
The dresses train was roughly the width of Manhattan. If a real bride were to walk down the aisle in that dress, she’d need a venue the size of four football fields and an entire NFL team of bridesmaids to hold the train.
Do you think these records are worth winning or the time effort and money to win or are they just plain silly?
