Extra long BM dress

*J9*, 19 August, 2014 at 14:39 Posted on Planning 0 6

I need help please! My friend has asked me to be her BM and we need to find a dress to fit my giant frame!

There are 4 of us and she wants us in blush pink full length dresses. The only thing is I'm just under 6ft and the other BMs are around 5ft 5!

She has a max budget of £100 per dress. Any ideas?

    Only because I'm obsessed by them, but CoralieBeatrix on Etsy is fab for this. My 3 BMs (all very different in sizes, heights & opinions) loved these wrap dresses & the come in about £80each. I even wore one as MOH for my friend (also my BM) recently (I'm 6ft).

    Thanks for the tip, I'll check them out. I always struggle for length with maxi dresses! Damn my height!

    Have you tried a place like ASOS? They have a great range of diffrent dresses, and do regular, petite and tall ranges and a lot of the dresses cross over into all of the departments just with different lengths.

    Also, the beauty of ASOS is the free and easy returns for anything that isn't right!

    Yeah I've tried ASOS and places I know have a tall range like New Look, Dorothy Perkins and Next. There's a BHS one we like which we're going to try and see if long enough but I doubt it. I'm hoping that as they're BM dresses they might make them longer than normal. Maybe just wishful thinking though!

    I'm 6foot and the only place I can find maxi dresses long enough is Mango.

    If your dress is a little shorter (say ankle height) could the other girls have their dress hems taken up to the same height so they match?

    Alfred angelo do long BM dresses, they might be a little over budget tho... Mine are new seasons and £169 but some I was looking at were cheaper.

    I have a BM who is about 5'7 and is wearing heels and her long AA dress is a perfect length xx
