Wedding dress too long - normal?

Did you order a tailor made/made to order gown? If so then I would expect it to be the correct length. If you ordered standard sizing (which they will also have measured you for to make sure they order the right size) then yes this is completely normal. I was told the standard length from my designer was made to fit someone around 5'10".

Heights don't change but if you gain weight or lose weight the dress will become shorter or longer.

Wedding dresses come in standard lengths! Unless your dress was tailored made for you I don't believe you have grounds for a complaint against the store!

I thought dresses just came in standard sizes and were then altered to fit? Mine was petite length but needed a bit of altering.

I'll be paying £160 for alterations as the dress I tried on was too long. They don't order them in for your particular length (well they didn't in my case) so i'm fully expecting to need it taken up and hopefully taken in a couple of inches too.

Unless you had it tailor made for your height you're over reacting and have no reason to complain to the shop

It really depends on the designer. Some designers will allow you too order a short, regular or long length dress at no additional charge. Others will only have a standard length.

You would need to ask the boutique whether your particular dress could have been ordered in a specific length. Did they take a measurement from your waist to the floor?

Hope this helps
