I'm not ready to start hemming the wedding gown yet, but I like to have everything mentally in place before I start cutting. I realized that the hem depth might change now that I've shortened the floor-length gown to tea length. It's about 8" above the ground. The original pattern pieces had the hem depth at 1 1/4", which seemed sort of skimpy to me, but I wasn't sure since I know that the deeper the hemline, the more flare I have to contend with. Do I maintain that depth now that I've shortened the gown? What is the best hem finish for silk satin?
Sorry for all the questions about this dress!
