The hem of a formal-length evening gown should fall across the toe of your shoe. If the shoes are high-heeled, the specific height of the shoe should be taken into consideration when adjusting the hem of the gown. The hem should not brush against the ground when you walk.
Formal-length evening gowns can be encumbering and can restrict movement, making it more challenging to dance or to navigate stairs. Several different length gowns, such as tea length or semi-formal length, can be worn to events that do not specify black tie or white tie attire.
When in doubt, it is always better to defer to formal etiquette and to adhere to any formal attire requests for the event when you are planning your evening or wedding attire. It can be far better to be remembered for being appropriately dressed for a formal occasion than to be remembered for flaunting convention.
