Tea-length wedding and evening dresses

The contour of the skirt here weighs no less than centimeters: a wide edge and a straight narrow line frame the same open section of the leg in different ways. Tea length in the catalog indicates models with a hem below the knee and above the ankle. The exact place depends on the height and cut, so you need to see it for yourself.

The border with copper not mathematical: definitions partially overlap, although in the catalog they are separate groups. Mini differs more clearly - its edge passes above the knee. Don't try to define tea length by historical associations or imaginary etiquette; title does not guarantee appropriateness for a particular event.

For this group, a flared shape is often noticeable, in particular A-line, but it is not mandatory. In a narrow model, the hem lies closer to the calf, in a more voluminous model, it moves away from it and shows the lower layers at a different angle. If there is collection, trace how it changes volume without confusing this technique with length itself. Sew the edge of the lining and top fabric separately.

Try on the dress with the selected shoes and look at it in front and full-length profile. Then sit down, put your foot on the step and take a step: this way you can see where the hem ends and how the bottom layers open. At a fitting in CRYSTAL, compare tea length and midi in the same pose, without attributing any automatic comfort or visual lengthening of the legs.
