Are these drapes too long? Opinions pls

I had to buy 95 inch drapes for my slider and they needed hemming. But they are (of course! Chat Icon ) just a bit longer than I had hoped to make them. Do they look like they need to be redone? I've seen drapes that hit the floor before and they look fine but I'm wondering if the velvet material makes them too heavy to carry the look. I so dont feel like rehemming them but will if I have to.

I think they look fine. (I prefer a slight break to a lot of puddling.) I think they look too "suburban" if they're the exact length or too short.

Whether they're in style or not, I've never been a fan of drapes that really gather too much at the floor.

I think yours are perfect just the way the are!
