I think my dress might be too short...UPDATED

When i went for my first fitting and put on my dress (I'll be wearing flats btw) the dress came up about an inch and a half off the ground. I alwasy thought the dress was suppose to almost touch the ground (maybe like a half inch off the ground). My bridal salon said 'no thats the way its suppose to be' blah blah blah....

I'm just curious how far off the ground everyone's dress is.

ETA for question: IF I decide that in fact my dress IS too short...can they make a dress longer that hasnt been taken up at all?

UPDATE: So, I just spoke with my mom and now she says that when we went for my fitting so thought it was a little short too. I'm worried because my dress was custom made for me and I feel like the shop is going to say too bad and they cant re-do it now.

i asked for my dress to be hemmed a little on the short side. i knew i would be tripping on it the whole time...especially when i changed into flats from my 1 inch shoes!

i'm glad mine was on the shorter side...you can't tell at all in my pictures!

i've read about a few people on here whose dresses were too long and they had trouble dancing---just something to think about.

from the pics in your album, if your dress is a little bit shorter, i don't think it's too short. but it's your dress and you need to be comfortable with it. good luck!
