TO FACTOR HEIGHT:
Gowns are measured from the shoulder to the front hem in inches. To factor whether or not a gown will be suitable, please subtract eleven inches from your height.
For instance, if you are 5' 4", your height is 5 feet x
12 inches = 60 inches + 4 inches = 64 inches
Take the 64 inches and subtract 11 (for the approximate size of your head) = 53
inches.
Your shoulder to front hem height is 53 inches for bare feet.
It should be easier to consider the height of your heel within this measurement. For instance, if you find a dress with a shoulder to front hem height of 56 inches, this dress would fit a barefooted 5' 7" bride or a 5' 4" bride with three inch heels.
Got it? Ok, let's make it easier...
The website will show a maximum allowable height for each gown. If a gown is "suitable for all heights," this means that the gown is not petite and does not appear to have been altered.
Petite height equals 4 ft. 8" to 5 ft. 3"
Petite hem lengths measured from the shoulder would range between 45 to 52 inches on the website.
Average height equals 5 ft. 4" to 5 ft. 8"
Average hem lengths measured from the shoulder would range between 53 to 57 inches on the website.
Tall height equals 5 ft. 9" to 6 ft. 4"
Tall hem lengths measured from the shoulder would range between 58 to 65 inches on the website.All petite, average and tall guidelines are meant to be approximate. Please check each gown's description page for actual gown measurements!
