Lulu, I got a fab one in Primarni, but I think I read somewhere on here that they are not liked.

Muji do a great, but not very pretty long rubber raincoat with hood (detachable) Its so long you can cut it down to your chosen length, and the sleeves are cutable too. I'll try and find a link.

It made you smile though!

Seriously I think North Face do a full length thing but can't seem to find it on line.

Try TK Maxx sometimes they have one offs.
