Wedding Dress Lengths

• Ballerina:  This length works best with full skirts and just skims the tops of a bride’s ankles.
• Full length (or floor length): This length shouldn’t go all the way to the floor, but instead ensure the back hem is short enough to dance in.  The toes of your shoes should just peep out. 
• High-low: With this style, the skirt is cut shorter at the front (often to the midcalf) and falls to the floor at the back.
• Mini: This length skims the knee.  A really bold bride may go even shorter!
• Street length: The hemline covers the knees.
• Tea length: Ends at the lower calf or right above the ankles.
