train bearer
Bridal dress holder
A train bearer is a person, typically at a wedding or formal ceremony, who carries the trailing fabric of someone's gown or robe.
The role is often filled by a child: The flower girl doubled as the train bearer for the bride.
Train bearers also appear in coronations and other regal occasions, attending to monarchs' ceremonial robes.
