Words to take to your supplier

A tea-length dress and visible shoes
A mid-calf hem makes the shoes part of the outfit and keeps the skirt clear of the floor.

What I want to borrow: Choose this direction when you want a shorter hem and a deliberate dress-and-shoe combination.
Adaptation to discuss: Compare midi and knee-length proportions with the actual shoes. A color accent can repeat in a bouquet or partner accessory without requiring matching outfits.

Questions for our supplier:
• Where does the hem finish when I sit?
• Do these shoes work on the venue surface?
• Will I want a warmer layer for the journey?

Scope to confirm: Tea-length hem, visible footwear and a clear agreement about skirt volume.
Responsible people: Wearer and alterations specialist; one named person for day-of outfit help.
Before confirming: Set the hem in the final shoes; check seated coverage and movement from the side.
Working example (replace with actuals): Arrange a fitting with the final shoes and underlayers; record one movement change before the final alteration approval.
