How Do I Measure The Hemline Of My Wedding Dress?
The length of your wedding dress will vary for each bride, and is based upon your own height. Firstly you'll need to get yourself a measuring tape and a friend (or seamstress), although you can do this yourself. When measuring the length of your wedding dress, stand up straight with your feet together. Bring the measuring tape to your front at the hollow between your throat and where your collarbones meet and allow it to drop down. This is your 'hollow to floor (or hem)' measurement, and it's what's used to dictate the length of your dress. hollow to floor measurement You can see in this example the hollow to floor (or hem) measurement amongst others. Measuring Tips: 1.You should take this measurement in bare feet. 2. OuterInner.com will add 2.5" to the hollow to floor length by default to account for heels, this can be changed upon request. 3. Always remember that no matter if you're choosing a short wedding dress, longer style, or something very intricate and decorated like a ball gown, the 'hollow to floor' measurement will always be used to measure the length. 4. Don't measure from the neckline of the dress itself, measure from your hollow. 5. If you do require a short skirt, simply measure from your hollow to where you want the hemline to be and the dressmaker can follow your guidance (although in this case it may help for you to try on some dresses with a similar length skirt in advance to get an idea of what suits you). So now there's no need to ask, "How long should my wedding dress be?" You're an expert and can decide on the best length for your wedding dress! We understand that when buying on line you need to have some faith in the wedding vendor, but if you're able to supply them with accurate measurements that you're totally happy with then you can focus on all of the other things that need to be organized for your wedding secure in the knowledge that your wedding dress is going to be the right length!

Shopping On Line: A Brave New World
If you're new to on line dress shopping then you may be thinking, "Woah, how can I buy a dress without trying it on first?" Seems risky? It really isn't, but it will require a little bit of forward planning from you. You'll need to consider a few things to be 100% sure of how to get a perfect fitting dress. What it boils down to is that on line dress (and clothing shopping) is quite different to normal shopping where you go to the mall and store, browse around, and finally try on a few items before making your purchases. Rather you need to be prepared to buy your dress by knowing your measurements in detail. Then, regardless of if you try the dress on or not, you will be able to choose the correct size for your figure. You also need to understand that the store you buy from will make the dress that you tell them to, so it's important not to make mistakes. Don't worry – here's what to do… How To Avoid Disappointment A common issue that we encounter is where a customer orders, say, a size 12 because she usually takes that size from local stores. Understandably she doesn't check the measurements on screen because she assumes that it is going to be correct. Upon receiving her dress she is disappointed and surprised that it doesn't fit. Don't be that customer! Grab your measuring tape and get your measurements, or ask a friend and seamstress! Then when you know your measurements you can check against ours which you can see on every dress page like here:
