Wedding Gown : Hemlines
Hemlines: The bottom edge of the skirt
1) Floor - The hem on this gown brushes the floor on all sides. A wonderful formal look that works well on both straight and full gown styles
2) Ankle - Ankle-length gown is hemmed right at the ankles. A nice semi-formal option that can either be full or formfitting
3) Ballerina - Just like the name implies, the ballerina features a full skirt (think tutu) that reachesto just above the ankles. Great fun and very flirty - ideal for an outdoor wedding.
4) Intermission - This hem falls anywhere between the knee and the ankle. Perfect for a semiformal or more casual affair.
5) Tea Length - A gown hemmed to a few inches below the knee. This may be as seen as a slightly conservative option, but with a modern twist.
6) Hi-Lo - A variation of the intermission, the hi-lo features an interesting hem on the front, and a floor-length (or longer) hem in the back. This is actually a popular look for bridesmaids as well.
7) Accordion Pleats - Close together pleats that boast folds resembling the bellows of an accordion. The edges all face in the same direction.
8) Box Pleats - Flds of fabric pressed up on top to form a flat, box-shaped pleat; an inverted pleat is formed between each box pleat
