Adding length to dress

Leah, on October 25, 2016 at 12:28 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 15

I am 5'9 and plus size. With my shoes on my dress just touch the top of my foot. My shoes are like 3 inches Any has any suggestions as to what material to add to make it a bit longer or should I get a different shoe??

    You can usually order your dress with extra length but if you already have it...get shorter heels

    I think the cheapest alternative would be to get shorter heels depending on how much you paid

    Shorter heels will help. Go about an inch shorter. You should be fine.

    That dress is gorgeous on you btw.

    Is it possible to cut the heel on current shoes down??

    I would think cutting the hell on your shoes would make the arch extremely off angled and painful.

    You could always take it to a shoe repair store to see what they say but I think finding other heels would be the best and easiest way to do it.

    Is that you in the dress with the heels on? too me the length looks fine, not too short. But if you must change then yes definitely get a pair of heels that are shorter. It will cost more to get your current shoes altered (if that's even possible) than buying a new pair of sensible heels

    If you have a poofy thingy underneath your dress, taking it out will give you a tiny bit more length, but like others have said, just get shorter shoes.

    I worried about my shoes too much and in the end, nobody notice it. Save the money and just wear flats.

    Buy different shoes with a shorter heel. Your feet and legs will thank you!
