I placed the order for my dress today and the store said they are going to call maggie to ask about extra length...but I kinda want to make the ultimate decision myself b/c I don't want to have to pay extra for the length if it isn't necessary.
I'm 5 foot 8 and I'm wearing flats...so I'm really RIGHT on the border...did you order extra length? How tall are you? I really don't want my shoes showing or anything...that is one of my biggest fears lol

Re: tall girls
I'm a little over 5'9, and i am also wearing flats. I didn't need any extra length on mine.. in fact, mine was PERFECT without any alterations.... it's not the same designer as yours though so i dont know if that matters, but i'm still a little more than an inch taller than you, and mine was perfect so i think you should be OK

I'm 5'7 and I have a maggie, I'm wearing a 1.5 inch heel. I don't you need anything extra length. I tried my dress on with 2 inch heels and had length to cut

Re: tall girls
I am 5'10', didnt have a maggie, but didnt have to order any extra length. I had a marys bridal, 3/4 inch heel, and the dress had to be slightly taken up
I'm 5'9 and I didn't order extra length. I was wearing heels when my dress came in and I tried it on (not the wedding shoes cuz I didn't have them at the time).. but anyway, it looks like they will have to hem the dress in the end. The store should be able to help you with this.

Re: tall girls
I am 5'9' and am wearing 2 1/2' heels. My dress is Maggie's Milana and it's the perfect length for the heels I chose. I don't think you'll have a problem with the standard length. I think you'll end up paying for a hem if you get extra length. Good luck!

Re: tall girls
i'm 5'11 and my dress is fine at the length i bought it. i'm going to wear flats or maybe 1-2 inch heels. i don't think it'll be a problem. (i bought a sample so i didn't really have a choice.)

Re: tall girls
I think it depends on the dress but I'm 5'7 and 1/2 and I didn't get the extra length (they actually told me I didn't need it) and once the dress came in my seamstress was like 'Why didn't you get the extra length???' It wasn't a huge deal but I had to buy heels that only had like a 1/2 inch heel, and they weren't able to do the bustle I wanted bc it was too short.
It s*cks to pay the extra $, but they can always make the dress shorter if you don't need it - they can't make it longer.
