Hi Fellow 07ers! I am a BM in a wedding this summer...and was wondering about the hems on tea length bm dresses...do they each fall to a certain spot on the leg, or are they all the same length from the ground? Pics would be great!! TIA

Re: pics of tea length bm dresses?
Here' some info for ya!
A tea-length bridesmaid dress is one that falls between the bottom of the knee and the bottom of the calf (about three or four inches above the ankle). It is generally considered the “in-between” length, as it falls between the cocktail-length dress and the full-length dress. Tea-length bridesmaid dresses are ideal for semi-formal and casual weddings. They are versatile and attractive on most figures; consequently, tea-length bridesmaid dresses have become increasingly popular in recent years.
Tea-length bridesmaid dresses are especially appropriate for an outdoor spring or summer wedding, whether the wedding is set in a garden, on a mountain, or on the beach. They help set the tone of a wedding that is designed to be elegant and fun at the same time. In addition, a tea-length dress made with a soft material reflects the fluidity of nature and adds a romantic touch to the wedding.
HTH!!

Re: pics of tea length bm dresses?
hi date twin! my girls wore tea length and they all fell different depending on the girls height. they didnt adjust the hem.....ill try to post a pic to see if it will help. my sister is the shortest (5'2' and hers was a bit longer. all the other girls were pretty much the same height.)
I really don't know if they are supposed to be a certain length from the ground or not...but here is a pic of my girls in their tea length dresses.

my girls all went to different seamstresses to get their dresses altered. somehow they all wound up having the same hem. i just told them about two inches below the knee.

We did similar. We did 1 1/2 inches below the knee. ETA: I should add that I didn't want a traditional tea-length which is why we went a little shorter.

Re: pics of tea length bm dresses?
This was us from my sisters wedding....you can kind of get an idea
I had tea length BM dresses as well. I didn't care if they were the same length or not. No one's hem got adjusted except for my MOH because she was the shortest (5' 0') and her dress fell to her ankle practically, so I had the seamstress trim her dress so it fell mid-calf.
This is a not so great pic of my girls dresses - but you can see they are not all the same length:
