wth Hemlines!
Bridesmaids dresses are now coming shorter than ever before, which can be a blessing and a curse, depending on the height of your bridesmaids! Most are still around the knee, but some of the newest short styles - some from Impression and DaVinci for example- are well above the knee even on someone of average height.
Most designers will offer 5" of extra length, so if the new shorter look is not to your taste, you'll usually have options.
And some designers offer multiple lengths. Jordan, for example, is offering most of their Spring 2011 collection in either knee length, tea length, or floor length.
I can remember when tea length (hits mid calf traditionally) was a big deal. Some people still like that length- it's a little more traditional, I suppose. But almost all short style now are worn either at the knee or slightly above ( Usually not more than an inch or two max). It's the most flattering, and you can work a great pair of heels.
Brides, don't forget to specify where YOU want hemlines on your maids if you have a preference. You can always leave it up to their preference, but give at least a range- around the knee, above the knee, etc.
I'll be interested to see where things go from here. I dont think designers can go much shorter, but I suppose you never know...
