    Try Monsoon. They have a beautiful bridal range. I'm 5'10" and got a gorgeous dress there for £250 that is actually a bit too long for me!

    I'm 6 foot too, and have found that most dresses are quite long, which is a relief as I thought it would be a nightmare trying them on. I don;t think any one I tried on was too short, and had a good few inches on the bottom even when I was stood on the box. I'm a size 9 too feet-wise, and am just keeping my eyes peeled in Brantano as they are quite cheap - although I did see a lovely pair of white trainers with red flowers on in there which I quite fancied - nice and comfy for the drunken dancing!

    I've never looked in brantano before but there's one opening near here very soon so will definitely have a look, thanks. That's a relief about the dresses aswell, can't wait to try some on now :j

    I'm also 6' and, as other brides have said, was pleasantly surprised to find that most dresses were long enough. A lot also have the option to be made extra long (though you'll normally pay extra for this). I've gone for a Mori Lee dress and it's the perfect length and needs no alteration whatsoever :T

    I'm also a size 9 shoe and there are lots to choose from if you do a quick search on the net. The main problem I had was finding something pretty but flat, since OH is slightly shorter than me and I didn't want to be towering over him on the day. I splurged a little and went for some Benjamin Adams silk pumps with swarovski crystals which set me back £140 - but I absolutely adore them and intend to wear them after the wedding to, so not too fussed that probably no-one is actually going to see them on the day ;)
