If you can’t decide, try on a few of different lengths to see what best suits you.

Tea-Length
Tea-length dresses are fun and flexible in style. Bridesmaids often like tea-length dresses because showing their beautiful legs and the dresses can be worn again in the future, instead of collecting dust in the closet. Many tea-length dresses are made with chiffon and include decorative embellishments, such as floral details near the waistline or neckline or a ribbon sash.
Separates
Separates let a bridesmaid’s personality shine through. Choose separates if your bridesmaids are of varying sizes. When the top is smoothed over the skirt it hides imperfections in the midsection. We suggests selecting vivid colors, but staying away from patterns, as this will detract from the uniformity of the party. If you don’t want the same color for both the top and the skirt, consider pairing a white bodice top with beading in the skirt color. Separates are available in both tea-length and floor-length gowns, as well as in strapless, halter and spaghetti-strap top options.
A-Line
A-line dresses are flattering and hide imperfections. The classic A-line silhouette works for almost all body types because it skirts the waist gently and then flares back out as the skirt falls. This type of dress also can hide flaws in the midsection and hips. The silhouette can be worked into floor-length gowns, tea-length dresses or separates. Almost every wedding dress designer offers bridesmaid dresses in the A-line silhouette.

A ball gown is the most formal female attire for special social occasions. This style is traditionally a full-skirted gown reaching at least to the ankles. It is made of a luxurious fabric, like satin or taffeta, and delicately and exotically trimmed with sea pearls, appliques, beads or crystals. Most versions of a gown are cut off the shoulder with an attractive decollete neckline. The bodice is form fitting and figure flattering. The skirt may be adorned with pick ups and bows.
