It very rarely happens that a wedding dress is liked by the future young woman at first sight, and sits perfectly on the figure. In most cases, it takes more than one week to find and fit an outfit. Why does it happen that brides cannot choose a dress for a long time? The answer is simple: either the style is not the same, then the length, then the color does not fit, then you can’t guess with the size. We will help you navigate all the nuances of choosing a wedding dress. Today we will consider such an aspect as its length.
For example, many understand that your appearance at a wedding in a miniskirt will not be properly appreciated by the older generation. Only the most daring and modern prefer practical short dresses. And traditional brides choose a floor-length wedding dress.
For those who want to find a compromise: we advise you to visit a bridal store in search of a transforming dress. The skirt of such outfits has hidden zippers and buttons that easily turn a classic long dress into a sexy mini. This is the most convenient option for a classic wedding, smoothly turning into unbridled fun.
But in addition to short and long options, there are several more intermediate ones. Let's look at them all.
Ankle length dresses. This length is considered semi-formal and is acceptable at formal events. Luxurious shoes appropriate for the occasion are a must.
Ballerina dress. It implies a fluffy skirt and a length slightly above the ankles. Very funny and flirtatious. More suitable for outdoor wedding.
Floor length. The hem of the skirt barely touches the floor on all sides. Classic length for a wedding dress. Suitable for both very formal and less formal occasions.
Classic 50s. The skirt of this outfit is exactly in the middle between the knee and ankle. The most popular and minimally acceptable option for beauties of the 50s of the last century. By the way, wedding gloves will be the perfect complement to this look.
Variable length. A very playful look: in front, the skirt is just below the knees, but in the back it is much longer (to the floor or even with a train). This skirt is also called "peacock tail". Among the shortcomings is a big chance to get tangled in the cable.
Up to the knee. This style is more like everyday and is more suitable for a witness than a bride. Although, if you want to celebrate a casual wedding only among the closest people, a skirt that slightly covers the knees is the most appropriate choice. In addition, such an outfit can be easily put on subsequently to the theater or to a social event.
Mini skirt. An option for the most daring and daring brides. Are you not afraid of sidelong glances and whispers behind your back? Do you want to attract as many views as possible? Do you love outrageous? Then be sure to choose a super-short skirt.
"Tea" dress. Calf length is an exquisite choice of real ladies. Very conservative and luxurious at the same time. This length of dress can be found when looking at photographs of women who were considered style icons and ideal ladies in the 50s and 60s of the last century: Jacqueline Kennedy and Grace Kelly.
