Hem Length 

 

Many experts recommend hemming your wedding gown up to 1-2 cm off the floor so you can walk easily and safely, without fabric tucking under your shoes and creating a tripping hazard. We recommend 1/8" - 1/4" clearance. Some brides prefer a longer hem, even if it means lifting their gown as they walk. Below is an image showing 3 different hem lengths.

Bustles

 

The two most common bustles are the French and American. Have a specific style in mind? Bring a photo to your fitting. **Note: Bustle options depend on your gown's train, fabric, and design, so not every style will work.
