I hate trains but fell in love with a dress that has one (a very nice one, in fact). I am seriously considering cutting it off, but would look into buslting it if there is a way not to have it poof out too much once its bustled. The David's bridal alterations woman showed me a bustled look w/ a butt looking 50 times bigger than normal, so I am just frustrated about what to do with the train... If you bustled yours and it was cathedral, do you have pix of how it looked? I am also meeting with Karin from astoria to see if she can do something else that David's can't. PS: If you want to see my dress its at davidsbridal.com, search for style 5868.
