I keeping buying size 16 shirts/cardigans/dresses and they are always cut for a much shorter frame with short arms. Any bigger and they are still too short in the arm and too short round the midriff. Dresses are always in the wrong proportion and usually too short as well.
Are there any companies apart from Long Tall Sally and Gudrun whatjamacallit which cut clothes for tall and generous frames
It is not the bust size that is the problem - just the arms and the length from waist to neck.
I can find trousers in size 16 which fit fine and are the right length.
I've started wearing my husband's shirts in desperation but they are not quite smart enough when unstructured and I hate the stiff collared ones.
I am 5ft 10 inches and a size 16, quite pearshaped.
