Your Guide to Finding the Perfect Wedding Dress, Gown

Wedding Dress, Bridal Gown Lengths

a. Ankle-length

We'll start you off with an easy one. The ankle-length gown is hemmed—you guessed it—right at the ankles. A nice semi-formal option that can be either full or form fitting.

b. Ballerina

Again, like the name implies, the Ballerina features a full skirt (think tutu) that reaches just above the ankles. Very fun and flirty—great for an outdoor wedding.

c. Floor-length

The hem on this gown just barely touches the floor on all sides. A wonderful formal look that works well on both straight and full styles.

d. Intermission

This hem falls anywhere between the knee and the ankle. Perfect for a semi-formal or more casual affair—and we just love saying the name!

e. Hi-Lo

A variation of the Intermission, the Hi-Lo features an Intermission hem on the front, and a floor length (or longer) hem in the back. A popular look for bridesmaids (and again, love that name thing!).

f. Knee-length

Another great look for maids or a casual bride, this style of skirt ends just below the knee.

g. Miniskirt

For the super sassy bride—a skirt that ends well above the knee.

h. Tea-length

A gown hemmed to end at the shin. Ultra conservative, but with a modern twist.
