The Guinness Book of World Records declared the item on the silk and lace gown as the longest train, beating the previous record held by a Dutch designer.
The 2,750 metre long train broke a previous record of 2,488 metres. It took 100 days to make
The train was crafted by a team of 10 seamstresses and was modelled by Emma, 17, pictured

Tuesday, Romanian design house Andree Salon unveiled a couture wedding gown with a 1.85-mile-long train — a world record-setter. The train took 100 days to create, a spokeswoman for the designer tells the U.K.’s Daily Mail, and required the meticulous work of 10 seamstresses. It’s made of pricey lace imported from France, plus taffeta sourced from Italy.
To flaunt the gown, Andree Salon hired a 17-year-old model to wear it — and in some photos, dangle the train from atop a hot air balloon over Romania’s capital, Bucharest.
The stunt was sponsored in part by the organizers of Bucharest’s 2012 biannual Wedding Fair.
