What do I do??

johnsonkay1

So I picked out this very simple dress from davids bridal for my BM's






But Davids bridal failed to mention that this dress is not able to add extra length! Why wouldnt they tell me this when I picked it out! So I have 7 BM and one of them is 5'11 and she needs extra length. I found the bottom dress in the same blue color as above, but now she will be the only one with a different one and again she is 5'11, all of my other bm are no taller than 5'8.  What do I do?

Could you open up the dress options to the other girls? As long as material, color, and length were the same you could have them in coordinating dresses instead of identical.

EDIT: the material wouldn't need to be identical just similar if you want them to all look a like

I am a bit confused. Did you already order the dresses through DB? If so, didn't all of the girls get measured?

If you are set on the color scheme you currently have, it is not the end of the world to have one BM in a different color.

Yes all of the other girls have ordered their dresses.

My mom bought the second dress you show there in the regular length. She is 6 foot and didn't need the extra length. Did your tall BM try the original dress and you know for sure she needs the length?

The first dress is what all of the other girls are wearing. The second dress is made with extra length already in it, and this is the one my cousin who is 5'11 is wearing. She has not tried the original on, she lives  a ways from DB. I am just more frustrated with David's Bridal than anything, they have been really difficult.

maybe you can make some dresses shorter and some longer...all the dresses don't have to be exaclty the same

Is she MOH?  Many people have the MOH wear a different color dress.

BTW-Love the dresses.

whatevs...they dont all need to be in the same dress.
i wore that one-shoulder dress in my friends wedding last year and it was the most comfortable BM dress i've ever worn.  consider her LUCKY!

PS - those 2 dresses are the exact same fabric, if that's what you're worried about.  the WP that i was in, we had the choice of your 2 dresses as well as 2 others.  the 2 you chose above are exactly the same fabrics, just different silhouettes.

Could they remove the strap?

We ended up ordering the original dress for her in hopes that when she gets it, it wont be to short. My sister tried it on with 4 in heels and it looked fine! So cross my fingers it will look ok. We will find out shortly!
