Do I need to hem the bottom of this dress?

First dress, or clothing at all I've really ever sewn to wear. I made my own pattern, less than a year sewing anything at all so, I really am just making it up as I go. I am also hoping to wear this to a wedding 4 days from now.

I still have to do some minor fit adjustments, and I was intending to hem the bottom of the skirt, but I like the way it drapes as it is and am worried the hem might mess it up. The cut turned out surprisingly clean and the fabric doesn't seem to be fraying much at all. Will I regret it if I don't hem it? Or is it okay to just leave the raw edge?
