After World War II, wedding gowns with long, flowing trains made a striking comeback as part of a broader return to opulence and tradition. With fabric rationing lifted, designers embraced luxurious materials like satin, lace, and tulle, crafting gowns that celebrated femininity and grandeur. Influenced by royal weddings and Hollywood glamour, these postwar dresses often featured fitted bodices, full skirts, and cathedral-length trains, symbolizing hope, romance, and a new era of prosperity.
