I am 5'9" with 35 inside leg. Zara isour friend. Trousers are fab.

MarionCole · 04/02/2011 20:41

No. It doesn't.

I've actually just bought some stuff from LTS for the first time in years, quality seems to have improved.

Or Next online, there is a reasonable range there, but the good stuff sells out quickly.

I'm 5 9 and fnd most shops have trousers that fit well

CMOTdibbler · 04/02/2011 20:44

Next online is really good imo

thenightsky · 04/02/2011 20:45

Long tall sally is only worth the price when it's sale time.

Zara for trousers though (36in inside leg here)

5DollarShake · 04/02/2011 21:42

Another vote for Zara - their trousers do come up long.

Thanks, all. Will check out Zara trousers. Tops in Zara are a failure on me - not made for hour glass figures. But have never tried the trews, so shall investigate.

Next have some decent stuff, but it is always sold out online! .

Yes pissed off with NExt Tall- ordered items on 15th Jan and already out of stock.
Bastards.
Mint Velvet do good long sleeves if you like grey.

Lulie110 · 05/02/2011 15:14

Oh, I 3rd (or 4th?) Zara for length!!!
I am a pear tho, so actually a bit of your hourglass dilemma!!

GypsyMoth · 05/02/2011 15:15

tallgirls.co.uk......they are ok

Fat Face do 34" inside leg which JUST fit me (am 6ft), but couldn't wear heals just flats.

I tend to buy plain black pants (cheap for work) which I can dress up from New Look tall range.

I haven't actually ever looked in Zara. But will do.

Northumberlandlass · 05/02/2011 18:52

'couldn't wear HEELS'

daimbardiva · 05/02/2011 19:11

Another vote for Zara, and Next tall for jeans.

MosEisley · 05/02/2011 19:14

Gap do 34" inside leg, which fits me at nearly 5' 9". But I have a long body rather than particularly long legs, so it is longer tops that I'll be watching this thread for.

I am 5ft11 but have bizarrely short legs so no problem with standard length trousers. Tops are another issue. Used to have lovely flat stomach, so didn't matter if it peeped out occasionally. However, two DD later and have just sold all my pre-pregnancy tops on Ebay.

American Apparel tops are brilliant for length, especially the unisex styles, and slim cut too. Have also resorted to a few LTS tops. They are overpriced and use loads of synthetics (which I hate) but the basic polonecks/t-shirts etc. are quite good for layering in winter and at least they cover my stomach.
