Long Dresses from Lulus

Allie, on March 11, 2019 at 11:48 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 23

From being on this site for a few months now, I've seen a lot of girls rave about dresses from Lulus! While they have some great options, I'm worried they will be too short. I'm 5' 10" and I weigh 140 so I usually wear a small/medium and sometimes have to get a large for the length. I'm looking for a long, elegant white dress for the dinner we are having the night before the wedding. Have any tall brides ordered from Lulus?

    They have really great, informative reviews on Lulus, so def read thoroughly. I am a short lol. I have ordered a jumpsuit and long dress on Lupus and had to get them both hemmed.

    Thanks! I noticed that. Of course the one dress I wanted doesn't have real people pics in the reviews haha. I've just always felt weird about maxi length dresses, but I really want to be able to wear one haha.

    Lol it's so funny because I have the opposite problem! I haven't tried to return anything, so I'm not sure of their return policy. Hopefully, a tall bride gives you the low down haha!

    I've only ever ordered one dress from Lulus (long maxi dress for our engagement pictures) but it was a small and is super long. I'm 5'7" so not short, but obviously not as tall as you. Even with 3.5 inch heels, the dress is still plenty long enough. I've found the reviews on Lulus to be really helpful and pretty accurate.

    Although I am 5’3” every dress I have gotten from lulus is CRAZY long, like even with 5” heels I’m still tripping. One of my bridesmaids is 5’7” and her dress from Lulus fits perfectly, just brushing the floor. So I would think at your height it may be on top of your foot but still better than other options from other sites!

    Thanks! Its good to know you had to get them hemmed. Maybe they won't be too short for me. Also, I don't even know what is "too short" for a maxi dress lol.

    I love Lulus! I'm 5'9" and 140 lbs and haven't had an issue with length or size. Just make sure you check the size chart! It definitely helps.

    I’m 5’6” and I’ve had to get each dress hemmed. They list the models Info and I know some I’ve seen have been at least 5’9” so you can always review their info and see how it fit them.

    I usually get a M. Some things, like their body suits I've had to get a L in.

    I’m 5’4” and wearing 3” heels with my long rehearsal dinner dress I got from Lulu’s. I still have to get it altered about 1.5”, and it is at the floor. They have a generous return policy. I ordered 6 dresses, tried them all on and kept the one I liked best. Free return shipping.

    I love lulus for maxi dresses BECAUSE I’m tall. I’m 5’9 and I cant wear 2-3” heels with the maxi dress I ordered from there and it’s still long enough. I usually order a small and it fits really well.

    Hi Allie! I am also 5’10” & same weight. I ordered a dress from Lulus for our engagement photos. I ordered a M & the length was perfect, but felt it was a little snug in the chest. I’d suggest ordering a M & L to see which works better for you. They have generous return policy so you could return the other one.

    I’m 5’2 and I’ve ordered two dresses from Lulus, both size 2. They were both really long, but when I put on 3-4 in heels they worked for me and I didn’t have to get them hemmed. I probably could’ve gotten them hemmed about an inch or so and it would have been perfect. I believe their return policy is that they’ll only refund for store credit. I will say I was very pleasantly surprised with how quickly their shipping time was!
