Massive dress made in Romania, took 100 days to make
Uber-competitive bridezillas will no doubt be jealous of this wedding wonder.
A world-record-busting two-mile wedding-gown train was unveiled in Romania on Tuesday.
To show off the gown, 17-year-old Romanian model Emma Dumitrescu took a ride in a hot air balloon as part of a promotion in the capital city of Bucharest, with the dress’ 1.85-mile-long train flowing dramatically under her.
The gown, certified as the longest bridal train in history by the Guinness World Records, was designed by a local designer, Andree Salon fashion house.
The dress more than doubled the previous record of under a mile, which was held by a designer from the Netherlands

The record was tinged with the taste of a sweet political victory for Romania, since the Netherlands campaigned against that country’s inclusion in the European Union’s visa-free travel zone, according to The Associated Press.
“If the Netherlands does not allow us into Europe, we’ll take them out of the world records book,” said Alin Caraman, an organizer of the wedding promotion.
The dress took 10 seamstresses nearly 100 days to make and cost close to $8,000 in materials alone, the AP reported.
