Does anyone know/think it’s a good idea to shorten a chiffon bridesmaid dress? One of my BMs is having trouble finding a short dress that she likes. All the styles she likes are long, but she doesn’t want to wear a long dress. So my other Bridesmaid or Best Man suggested choosing a long style and then getting it shortened. We’re looking at either Bari Jay or Dessy. 

Does anyone have experience with this?

Depending on the style, it’s pretty easy to shorten. However, it can be very expensive (not entirely sure why). I was just in a wedding where we had long chiffon dresses. A few of the girls had their hemmed and it ran them $50+

Its expensive because its two hemlines to shorten, and they must be exactly the same.
