The length of a dress should be chosen based on the style of your wedding, and how comfortable you will be performing your duties as a bride on your big day. Whether it be dancing, walking around to greet guests, or simply sitting for your meals, you want to be sure you chose a dress that is long or short enough to fit your style. Keep in mind that the length often goes hand-in-hand with the style and silhouette, and that the dresses train is an entirely different component of your dress. For example, you can have a short dress that will reveal your legs and heels while still having a long train for a traditional walk down the aisle. We've gone over the 6 standard dress lengths here to help you understand your wedding dress. Keep in mind, you can click on any dress length to search CityBride for dresses with the selected length!

The bottom of the dress can either brush the floor, or rest on the floor, depending on the style. |
Ankle Length
The dress reaches the ankles revealing about half of the wearers heels. |
Ballerina Length
The dress extends just below the calves and reveals the ankles and the wearers heels. |
Tea Length
The knees are completely hidden by dress, which may extend as far down as the upper calves. |
Hi-Lo Length
The front of the dress is much shorter than the back, so it can brush the floor yet reveal more leg. |
