Fit starts with length and proportion

A dress looks truly natural only when the hem, waist, bodice length, and straps suit you. With taller proportions, it is worth clarifying early which styles can be ordered with sufficient length and which alterations are realistic.

Compare the effects of different silhouettes consciously

An A-line can look calm and balanced. Empire, princess, or mermaid respectively Fit & Flare each emphasise different aspects. Your height does not need to be hidden—it can be part of a strong overall look.

Sleeves, neckline, waist, and hem

Check that the sleeves reach the intended point, the waist does not ride up, and the hem works with your shoes. Necklines and horizontal or diagonal details divide up the area; their effect is most reliably judged in a direct comparison.

Material, movement, and alterations

Satin, Mikado, tulle, chiffon, and lace can look beautiful on tall brides. Their weight and construction should suit your celebration. Move around during the fitting and discuss alterations with the seamstress at an early stage.

Your style needs no size rule

We take time for fit, proportions, and the dress in which you recognise yourself.
