Three photos below show dress trains
hiked up to top of zipper for ease of walking.
There is NO hook or anything designed for that, just a suggestion on my part!

HOWARD GREER, Beverly Hills
Glorious Sage Green Silk Chiffon Red Carpet
Evening Gown! Many of you ask how I can
sell all my great pieces. The stock answer is... "it's my job, so I
have to try not to get too emotional about any particular piece".
However, every so often, it becomes extremely difficult to let
something go.. like... oh god... this... amazing... wahhhhhhh!
I have been holding on to this for many years hoping to some day
wear it myself. But it really isn't the best color for my very
olive complexion. But would look awesome on just about any
other skintone. Howard Greer was a top Hollywood designer who
was trained under Molyneux and Poiret. This gown is a masterpiece of
sage silk chiffon which drapes up to the original rose decoration,
and falls to side trains. In some photos I have hiked up the
trains to show what it might look like for easy walking. Still
fabulous! Back metal zipper. Fully lined. The gown is not in Mint
condition, but it's close enough! One of my all-time favorite
red carpet gowns! Issues: see photos to see one tiny spot on
front waist, two small spots on scarf, fixable heel tear at edge of
hem of other scarf, minor discoloration at hem of scarf, and the
flowers are wilted! However this is a rare opportunity for a top
Hollywood designer's majestic gown. I only wish I knew its history,
and who the lucky starlet was who wore this! Measures: 32.5" bust,
24.5" waist, up to 35" hips, 54" long from shoulder to hem
#3765.
