It really depends on a few factors, is there a dress code for the wedding? If it's black tie or formal, then a long dress is definately appropriate, if it's cocktail or less formal, you can still wear long, but it's probably a nice thing to do, to check in with the mother of the bride and the bride first and see what they think. At the end of the day, you should wear what you feel good in. A long dress can still not be over the top dressy, so perhaps it's more about getting the right formality, than getting the right length. If you do decide to get a long dress, you can always have it tailored to ankle length in most cases, so if you love a dress that's long, you could buy it and have the length adjusted if you need to. Best of luck, Louise.

Hi there, if you are having your gown made to measure by us, we usually require three to four fittings and a pick up appointment, these appointments are fun and take around an hour, it's lovely to see your gown created to be just perfect on your body, and the beauty of a custom made dress is that we can get the details like the neckline and fullness just how you like them, so you know you're going to feel fantastic in it on your wedding day. Some of our demi-couture gowns can be fitted with only one fitting and one pick up appointment, so it can depend what kind of gown you are after. I hope thart helps, best of luck, Louise.

Hi there, the best advice I can give you with buying shapewear, make sure the fit is comfortable and not too tght, the main reason shapewear rolls down is if it's too small/tight, better it's comfortably firm, try going up a size if this is happening, good luck!
