    Mini Length

    Fun, flirty, and fashion-forward - mini wedding dresses usually fall above the knee and are perfect for bold brides, city weddings, or reception outfit changes.

    Tea Length

    The iconic vintage bridal style. Falling between the knee and ankle (usually mid-calf), tea-length wedding dresses are perfect for twirling, showing off statement shoes, and channeling 1950s glamour.

    Midi/Ballerina Length

    Elegant and contemporary, midi or ballerina dresses usually fall just below the calf or to the ankle. Perfect if you want a sleeker look that still gives you the ease of a short dress.
