Tops for tall women

Is there anywhere other than Long Tall Sally that does clothes for tall women? I'm 5'10 but have a long body and short legs (lovely Hmm). I'm having trouble finding jumpers and tops that come down to my hips without leaving a draughty gap. LTS have a few but nothing inspires me.

Next tall but you need account. Reasonable length, I reckon they could do with extra inch still tho.
Dorothy Perkins larger stores, usually all mixed in with normal stuff on silver coloured hangers.
Otherwise I find hennes clothes are often more generous in length

I am similar in proportions. H&M do long vest tops, which might even be meant to be minidresses fir £7.99 in all the basic neutral colours. They are great to wear alone or under other stuff and it means it doesn't matter if your blouse/jumper is a bit short as it just gives you a nice layered look. I've given up on most tops from normal shops ages ago.

Interesting about Next tall but I hate most Next stuff so doubt I'll be buying.

Oh and Topshop tall of course!

New Look does a 'Tall' range

This is my biggest shopping bug bear!
M&S are worst culprits.
Joules are fairly good. Boden rubbish.

Ooh thanks all - I,m in town tomorrow so will try H&M. I have the new Next directory - never noticed they did Tall stuff. I am just after basics...now the colder weather has started I am feeling chilly round the middle.

Next tall is all online, literally pages and pages of it.

New Look tall is for women over....5ft 6. Which explains why everything in their standard line threatens to expose my knickers.

Am 5,9 and love Gap for tops.

New look - and sometimes not just their "tall" range. I find that a lot of their basic t shirts and vests are a good length. Ditto peacocks
