First fitting and my dress is too short!

GummyBearSTL, on May 3, 2017 at 4:04 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 22

Was lucky and bought this dress used, and altered to nearly my size. My 4 inch heels are too tall for the dress! Lol anu recommendations for navy blue shoes that aren't four inches and are super cute?

    Amazon and Payless are always good places to look!

    OP, did you wear your shoes to your fitting? If so, sorry this happened.

    These were the shoes I bought. I guess I was naive and thought the heels wouldn't be too tall. lol

    I'm wearing a used dress too (my FMIL's) and I will be able to wear a 1.5 inch heel max, and I'll probably end up in flats if I get an underskirt like I want.

    I wanted some killer heels too, but at least we don't have to pay for hemming??

    Honestly, I think it looks fine at that length in your photo. Sure, it's a tiny bit short, but that just means 1) you won't trip over your dress and 2) everyone might see a peek of those fantastic shoes!

    Your dress should be hemmed to your shortest shoe anyway, so plenty of brides that plan to switch to flats later have a slightly shorter dress in heels.

    Look at these and see what you think. I love DSW. They have a lot of other blue/navy shoes that I didn't link because I thought the heel looked too tall, but look through and see what you think. Hope this helps!

    Look at Benjamin Walk or Dyables. Tonsss of options, and they'll dye them whatever color you need. Try Etsy too.
