When it comes to finding the perfect wedding dress, considering what length you want is a big factor to think about. Sure, most brides tend to lean toward a floor length gown with a cascading full train, but that might not be your vibe, and we give you full permission to explore other lengths! 

Midi length wedding dresses are really popular amongst non-traditional brides, but there can be a little confusion about what makes a dress midi length. It’s often confused with being a knee length dress, but that’s not the case! The classic midi dress is a bit longer, in fact, and fully covers up the knees. It can even extend to the middle of the calf. The length is elegant and classy, making it an excellent choice for something more conventional like a church ceremony. They’re also great to wear for a reception afterward because they allow you to move more freely than a floor length gown, which eliminates the need to purchase two dresses for your wedding! 

Because of their versatility, wedding dresses in this length are suited to all seasons and styles. Depending on the style, midi gowns can come in form-fitting or free-flowing styles, with strapless or long sleeves, modest or provocative, with thigh high slits or plunging necklines.

Here at Brides by Solo, we’re pretty fond of midi length wedding dresses and wanted to show you some of our favorites today from True Bride! Their Brighton Belle collection features short bridal dresses that have a retro aesthetic, with details like circular skirts, satin collars, and sheer sleeves. 

#MAIA

Maia takes inspiration from the 1940s with a modern twist! There's a plunging neckline and a deep v back, which is echoed by rows of gorgeous gold lace around the waist. Soft tulle bishop sleeves with a row of gold trim and frill are finished with a pleated tulle bodice over gold lace. The style is completed with a retro circular tulle skirt.

#POLLY

There's a beautiful lace bodice with lace appliqués layered over tulle in this 1950s tea length dress. We love the thin satin belt that emphasises the waist and the sheer illusion lace quarter length sleeves on this dress! 

#LOLA

Featuring the most feminine beaded contemporary laces on the bodice and skirt, Lola is the perfect midi length gown for your wedding! The illusion tulle on the shoulders is paired with beaded lace appliqués to create a stunning cap sleeve. Lace flows down from the waistband on the full tulle skirt, with a slim satin belt at the waist.

#OTTILIE

Featuring a sweetheart neckline and sheer lace cap sleeve, this lace midi wedding dress is divine! You'll love the sheer beaded lace appliqués on the high bodice and covered buttons at the waist to give you that elegant and retro bridal moment! It has a pleated wide crossover waistband to cinch you in at the waist, and a soft tulle layer to give the skirt that extra dramatic vibe. 

#JULIETTE

This elegant midi-length dress is inspired by Audrey Hepburn's 1940s style. A sweetheart neckline is created by the satin layer, with a v-back that's beaded. There are rows of tiny pearls and beads adorning the shoulders and square neckline at the back to create a glamorous look.
