What is hollow to floor?

Hollow to floor measurement is a vertical length measurement that is important for selecting the correct size of a dress or gown, particularly for formal occasions such as weddings, prom, or evening events.

The "hollow" refers to the indentation at the base of the neck between the collarbones, and the measurement is taken from this point to the floor while the person is standing in bare feet. This measurement helps to determine the appropriate dress length to ensure that it falls correctly at the floor without being too long or too short.

Taking the hollow to floor measurement is essential to ensure a proper fit and avoid the need for alterations. It is recommended to have someone assist you in taking this measurement to ensure accuracy. When ordering a dress online, make sure to check the sizing chart and provide your hollow to floor measurement to select the correct size.
