What is hallow to hem?

"Hallow to hem" refers to the measurement taken when determining the length of a garment, particularly a dress.

The measurement is taken from the hollow area at the base of the neck (usually the indentation at the base of the throat) down to the hemline of the dress.

This measurement is important for those who want to customize the length of their dress to fit their specific height or preference. It ensures that the garment is not too long or too short and provides a desired fit.

To measure hallow to hem, a person can stand straight with their feet together and measure from the hollow of their neck to the desired hemline in a straight line. This measurement can then be communicated to a tailor or used when ordering a dress online with customizable length options.
