To think the tall range of women's clothes

fit me better even though I'm not tall. I'm overweight so that might be why -I'm 5ft 6 and 11stone and wear a 12 or 14. I've bought 2 tall range tops from Next recently and they are a revelation - come past the top bit of my bum and so hide my massive bum. Fit better all over. Any other good tall ranges? I know I don't need them but I feel much happier with some coverage.

Your not over weight if you're 5foot6 and 11 stone.

I'm 5 foot 4 and like long t-shirts so always check out the tall section, particularly this year as most t-shirts seem to be cut short.

Im 6ft. I bloody love Tall range clothes, I spent my teenage years in too short clothes. Was horrible.

Do you have big boobs? I wear tall clothes because of my 32J boobs and long torso.

I say I'm 11 stone but it's 71kg which is more and tips me over. Boobs are smallish. Maybe it's just the specific top that is flattering but I'm going to try some more.

Opposite for me. I'm 5'6" and mainly shop in M&S as I'm a size 20. I don't think I'm a particularly weird shape but have to get a 'short' in trousers. I don't think of 5'6" as short!
I guess it depends if you're long-bodied or short-bodied. I must be long-bodied with short legsGrin

I'd just like to know why the tall range always seems so plain compared to the regular clothes. I suppose it's the same with shoes. Those lovely dainty pumps that are adorable in size 4 look hideous and clumpy in my 7 or 8. It's witchcraft I tell you!
