A floor-length gown should allow the toes of your shoes to show, although some brides may prefer a slightly shorter length. This is a tea-length skirt designed with panels that end in points. The effect looks like a series of handkerchiefs sewn together. This skirt falls between the knee and mid-calf. As you might guess, the mini-skirt hem line is more often seen on the runaway than on real brides.
Some designers offer a detachable overskirt that a bride can wear during the ceremony.
This length falls just below the knee. This is one of the few waistlines that compliments virtually any body type. This V-shaped waistline falls 2 to 2.5 inches below the natural waist. This unique look drops down on one side. This waistline is more common with bridesmaids dresses than bridal gowns.
