I am wearing a tea length dress, when I started dress shopping I wanted the full princess dress but I tried on loads and never got that 'the one' feeling. I saw this dress hung up in the shop and thought wow but didn't think it would suit me, I'm only 5'2 do it is a bit longer than what it should be but I love it

This is my dress but mine is ivory



I'm found these shoes but not sure if they are bling enough, I'm wearing a birdcage veil which is attach to a headband with bow so kind of ties in nicely



I saw these advertised in a mag, could be worth a look

Wow that dress is stunning and is just what I was looking for!!! Is it a Kitty & Dulcie? It's not on their website and they say they only sell online??

That one's a Justin Alexander, gorgeous isn't it?!

Ian Stuart does a couple of lovely shorter dresses too, and many other designers will let you customise length. :T

That justin Alexander is beautiful. I've fallen in love with the Mark Lesley 2108, just need to get my bridesmaid opinion etc. But I want corset back, so am going to see how much it will be to get it made

Another one here for tea length dress. I'm also small and look like I'm wearing a child dressing up in their mother's clothes in full length dresses.

I just figure that for general moving about, dancing etc they are so much more practical. We're getting married in Scotland and it's by a beach so I didn't want to be hitching my dress up all the time. It also means I can wear some really funky shoes!

If you're interested, here's mine

It's the Camelia one.

Interesting that so many of us brides choosing tea-length dresses are shorter
(I'm 5ft2.5 - very important half inch!)
