    I love long, for the look and the idea that they can wear any shoes (heels, flats, etc) that want without it looking bad and mismatched.

    Long!! I feel short is a little informal next to a wedding gown (especially since mine is a beaded ballgown!)

    My maids got to choose their own dresses (I picked the colors) and they all chose long!

    I like long, I think it's a little more formal and flattering, and I don't have to worry or care what shoes they all wear.

    Which is awesome when getting married on the beach like I am, so my girls will be in short dresses. And linen, to boot! 😄

    Mine will probably be short. July 6th in Texas will be hot. I think the time of year and location dictates the length of the dresses as does fabric.

    My dress, matron of honor’s dress and flower girl will all be long dresses. I’m getting married at 3 in the afternoon with only family invited and my reception or party Q bbq will begin at 5 with all our friends.

    Both. I have 3 wearing short and 2 wearing long. I let them pick what they wanted since I am getting married on the beach.

    My girls are doing short dresses- by short I mean knee length.

    $80 on Amazon, and one of my BMs got it and it's great quality!Bridesmaid Dresses: Long or Short? 4


    One of my BMs got hers in already and it fit her great. It's also a corset back Smiley smile

    Short--and I'm letting them choose the style (in navy). My thought is that since they're buying the dress, I might as well have them get something they might wear again. Also, I personally think the short looks better (it looks more cute and fun) and long dresses remind me of prom.
