How To Find a Wedding Dress Long Enough for Tall Girls
Do Your Research
We also decided to tap into an expert for some valuable advice. We reached out to the team at Bridal Accents Couture in Burnsville, Minnesota who recommended doing some research beforehand to try and find a shop that will allow you to order your gown with custom length versus buying extra materials to achieve it. For example, Bridal Accents Couture has a designer on staff that does custom lengths. And the good news is that it might not be as spendy as you think it can be! As of today, their designer charges $200 and then a $50 custom fee – and as we all know, that is money well spent when the alternative is a gown that stops at your ankle bones! If you are local or can easily get to the Twin Cities, it’s worth your time to connect with our friends in Burnsville and see how they can help you!
If you aren't local to the Twin Cities area or that’s not an option for you, don’t be dismayed! There were plenty of other lines that people vouched for, and truly for a range of heights. What we’re going to do is simply list them out below, along with the specific feedback that came in with the brand recommendation! We also wanted to point out that several lines were recommended more than once, so we didn’t necessarily include all of the different notes for each if they were similar in message.

A few people noted they had success with this website. They advertise themselves as high quality dresses for cheap, but it’s worth noting that they are based in China so we are a little apprehensive to recommend this as an option. Nonetheless, it could be an avenue to look into to.JJ’s House
