    Hi Bees!

    I'm in love in Adorae (like many of you) but it's hard to get it in UK so I'm planning to buy it online. Do you know how long is the petite size of that dress? I'm about 5 7' and planning to wear heels (2 maybe 3inches). Which one should I get-petite or standard one?

    standard for sure. "petite" in Canada is 5'2ish and under.

    Standard. I think many gowns are made for a height of 5'9" so if you're 5'7" and wearing 2" heels that should be perfect.

    I am 5'7" myself and would never consider myself petite!

    I've just asked because I'm on really low budget but trying to make my dreams come true and buy used Adorae- one of the girl send me an offer- she has petite one for sale and  told me that it should be good for me because she is 5 5" and it's much too long for her. Now I know it's not true. Thanks bees-you saved me $800:-)

    @angelika84:  I would still buy standard, but when I ordered my wedding dress (not Adorae, but a Maggie Sottero) the consultant told me that a petite would still be too long for me.  I ordered standard anyways, but I'm almost 5'5" and she said I would have to hem the petite.  I don't know how that works, but maybe the girl isn't trying to scam you :)

    Probably you're right but I won't risk anyway. So I keep looking for Adorae...

    I am 4' 7" and I have a different designer, but the one I have only needs to be hemmed 2 inches after I wear 4" heals....

    Also, my original dress is rouged to my hip, but in the regular size it went over my hip. That was my favorite part, and since ordering the "p" size I am really disappointed because it changed the proportions. I would buy the one you have tried on, or seen on a similar model in order to get the silhouette you want it to be.
