  I'm sure an alterations person could hem it for you.  Have them make it as short as possible and take it to your seamstress to hem.

  Ignorance is a poor defense.

  My dress had to be hemmed about 4 inches. It'll be fine!

  i chopped a good 6-8 inches off my dress. (granted it didn't have any detailing..)
  
  what the seamstress, or at least a good one, will do is take some off the bottom of the fitted bodice and then take a little off the bottom of the skirt to keep the shape and style of the dress. don't worry, it's totally doable.

  Is your hollow to hem measurement with the shoes you plan on wearing?  If not, you may only need to take off an inch or two, depending on heel height.
