Mini, Midi, or Maxi for a Bridal Second Look?

Choose the hem that gives your second look the silhouette you want and works with the route you will take through the evening. A mini puts the shoes and legs into the outfit. A midi creates a deliberate break between knee and ankle. A maxi keeps one long line to the floor.

Match the length to the evening

For a mini, decide whether you want separates or a continuous dress. The Mini Silk Corset Set has a visible meeting point between corset and skirt, while the Couture Silk Corset Mini Dress keeps the corseted bodice and skirt in one garment. Your shoes will be fully visible with either choice.

For a midi, ask us about adapting the length of a design you like. Bring a reference that shows the exact finish point, because mid-calf, lower-calf and ankle-skimming hems create different proportions and interact differently with straps or boots.

For a maxi, choose between a clean floor-length finish and a train. The Maxi Silk Corset Set includes a bias-cut floor-length skirt. The Train Silk Corset Set extends the line behind you, which means planning for stairs, crowded rooms and the person arranging it for photographs.

Make the hem request specific

Put on the shoes you intend to wear and mark where you want the hem to finish. Note your height, the venue surface, any stairs and the space available where you will change. Then send the design and hem reference with your wedding date. Room 22 can confirm whether the length is an adjustment to the existing design or calls for more design work.
