Is your wedding dresses going to be touching the floor or are you going to go 1-3 inches above the ground? I was told wedding gowns are suppose to be 1-3 inches off the ground. I have talked to a few people and they said they have never heard of this. Can anyone please help me with this?

Re: Question about wedding dresses
I guess mine was about an inch? I mean it didn't roll under when I walked but you didn't see my shoes really at all maybe just the tips. I wouldn't want 3' off the floor that would be a bit much.

Re: Question about wedding dresses
Mine was maybe an inch from the ground. If I stood still it just touched the floor but if I adjusted my body you could see it came off the ground a little by little I mean you couldn'st see my shoes but I didn't trip when I walked either.

Re: Question about wedding dresses
My dress was pre hemmed and I went for my first fitting Saturday I was not happy about my dress you could see the tip of my shoes. Today I went back with my sister to try it on again and to see what I could do about it and she took pictures of it and you can see my shoes in some of the pictures. I was told they can lower the dress but then I can't use slippers if I want cause I will walk all over my dress. I am not sure about what to do.

I don't know - I think it touched the floor, but I wasn't tripping over it...
I'd say about an inch off the floor if anything.

Re: Question about wedding dresses
mine didnt really touch the floor..but you couldn't see my shoes either. it was just right. id say an inch or less maybe. 3 inches would be too much i think! i think it would make it look funny!

I stepped on and ripped the inner lining of my gown, and slipped walking into my ceremony. The shoes I wore were slightly taller than the ones I got fitted with so I don't know why I was able to ruin my dress and entrance.

Re: Question about wedding dresses
The overlay of my dress barely grazed the floor and the underlay was probably about an 1'...I wore 2.5' heels b/c I'm tall (5'8'). I wasn't tripping and you really couldn't see my shoes either when I walked, unless I hiked my dress up...see pic below:
