Any Tall Brides out there?

I'm 6'1'- FH is 6'6' so it works out- but I'm finding that some dresses dont come in extra length! :( Anyone have the same problem as me?

I'm 5'9' which in this thread seems short, but I just escaped needing extra length. My dress designer did offer it though. I've tried my dress on with two inch heels and it was still too long on me.

Re: Any Tall Brides out there?

also if you order a designer dress at a trunk show- they will sometimes throw in a Halow to hem measurement- which give you the extra length

Halow to hem is something good to negotiate for

Im 5'11 and ordered extra length with a Jasmine Couture dress.
Most dresses came in extra length.
What brands are you looking at?

Re: Any Tall Brides out there?

I'm 6ft tall and so far any dress I've tried on have been the perfect length. As long as I go with ballet slippers or a very small heel. But I haven't found my dress yet, so I may end up needed extra length.

Re: Any Tall Brides out there?

I am not tall, but I know that Maggie Sotero gowns also have an option for a longer skirt.

Re: Any Tall Brides out there?

I'm 6'1' and ordered extra length (Stephen Yearick gown). I was measured incorrectly and the gown ended up being too long, so it had to be hemmed (that was a 1st for me!

)
