GREAT LENGTHS

St. Pucchi
Do you know the difference between tea-length and ballerina length? Short or mini? Here are some images to inspire you along to finding your perfect hemline. . . .

FLOOR-LENGTH

Sassi Holford
Most common length for bridal gowns, this hemline is graceful and elegant; typically not touching the floor in front but 1-3" above for ease with walking.

BALLERINA

Ballerina-length skirts fall just above the ankle and are wide and full just like the skirts seen in the corps de ballet.

TEA-LENGTH

Candy Anthony

Falls mid-calf and can be either full and volumonous or fitted. Mostly worn at the informal or semi -formal wedding.

KNEE-LENGTH

Peter Langner

This style of skirt finishes just below or above the knee. A very flattering length, it's perfect for cocktail and the less formal civil-style wedding.

MINI
Jenny Packham

A whimsical and playful , this skirt sports a certain radical chic first worn in the 1960s. Perfect for a cocktail wedding or a bride with great legs.

ASYMMETRICAL




Irregular hemline falling diagonally. Can start as a mini and go to the floor as in the above image. Tres chic this year along with asymmetrical necklines.

GRADUATED

Max Chaoul
Hemline is short in front and generally extended into a train in back.
