I didn't realize they still existed! About 30 years ago they were constantly promoted in fashion magazies as complete trendsville. I guess they've just stayed there, thirty years ago.

yeh, there's some bad stuff in there! it's like petite ranges (I'm 5'1") they're not trying to appeal to young people, or rich people, or professionals, or bohemian types, they're trying to appeal to as many tall people as possible (or short people) so it comes up really bland.

They used to have great basics that I didn't mind paying over the odds for. But now it is boring/tacky/poor quality and expensive.
I like Next tall, and ASOS tall have some nice stuff

since responding to this thread, I've been bombarded with LTS adverts on FB. where do FB get this info?

I like that skirt! I do get a few things from their sale, I wouldn't pay full price though.

I'm not tall enough at 5'8 for LTS, but I'm not sure what is wrong with the skirt?

If your using crome or firefox the cookies are saved if you looked at links or sites which fb or here uses. It happens to me to.

same here alltoomuchrightnow, which is funny really as I'd need to stand on a box to get a shop assistant's attention in LTS!

I gave up on them ages ago too. Often overpriced. I just had a look at the sale - not many bargains there.

I always think a long skirt or maxi dress on a tall woman like myself makes them look like an exclamation mark. It accentuates their height and length in an unflattering, frumpy way.

Winky I love my maxi's. But being curvy I think helps im not straight up and down.

I am six feet tall and love maxis but they have to be very slim fitting. Have a lovely black skirt from Top Shop and a dress from Tall Girls which is a favourite.
I am in Chiltern St tomorrow looking at shows so will see what monstrosities LTS have in.

I'm six feet tall too. I occasionally buy from LTS. I agree a lot of it is frumpy and dated but not all of it. Ive just brought a long skirt that looks great on, plus maxi dresses suit me winkywinkola in a non frumpy way.
