Lehenga length is the measurement our fitting team corrects most. The mistake is almost always the same: measuring to the floor barefoot, then deciding on heels later. A lehenga that grazes the floor barefoot will float two inches high in wedding shoes — and two inches is the difference between regal and slightly wrong.
The rule: decide your shoe first, or at least your heel height. Measure from your natural waist — where you will actually tie the lehenga, which is usually higher than your jeans sit — to the floor, wearing that heel. For a baraat lehenga with a train effect, we add length at the back panel only, so you can still walk.
If you genuinely cannot decide on shoes yet, tell us. We build the hem with an allowance and finalise it at your last fitting — this is exactly what staged fittings are for. What we cannot do is rescue a lehenga cut two inches short, because the embroidery border sits at the hem and cannot be moved.
One more honest note: if you are between two lengths, take the longer. A hem can come up. A zardozi border cannot come down.
