A Guinness World Record has been set in France for the world’s longest wedding dress train, measuring over 8,095 metres long.
Construction company Dynamic Projects, with the help of 15 volunteers, spent two months stitching individual pieces of the train before sewing them all together to form a whole.

The team also incorporated part of the previous record- breaking garment that measured 1,203.9 metres.
The wedding dress was unveiled in Caudry, a French town famous for its production of lace, 11 years after the Guinness World Records title was first set there.
The measuring was overseen by professional surveyor Christophe Dumont of French surveying firm Cabinet Caron- Briffaut and Guinness World Records adjudicator Rob Molloy, who presented a certificate to the company.
Afterwards, the wedding dress train was cut into segments and sold, and all the money was donated to charities.
Pedro Porro was named Player of the Match after Spain shut down France's star-studded attack, while Mikel Oyarzabal reached the milestone of 30 international goals. France will now compete in the third-place playoff as Spain prepare for the World Cup final.
Mbappe also became the first France player to contribute to 100 international goals and earned his third Player of the Match award of the tournament as Les Bleus advanced to the last four.
For generations, countries of northern and western Europe were seen as places where summer meant pleasant sunshine rather than a struggle for survival.
