the tall thread

[MrsBucketxx]

as a lanky bird 5'11 I am always on the look out for new tall web sites fashion blogs etc.

my current faves being allthetallthings.com (blog)

and clothes from tallerthanyouraverage.com/


any other recommendations, tips woukd be great too.

after all petite ranges are everywhere, tall ones should be too.

Oh I bought a nude mac in Primark that actually fits on the waist. It cost about a tenth of the All Saints one I have... that doesn't.

[TarkaTheOtter]

I'm 5'10 with 30GG boobs and 33" legs and a massive stomach in the middle. Size 5.5/6 feet and freakishly small hands.

I too really struggle with swimwear as like to hide my stretch marks and cover my boobs but have a long body. Have seen some lovely swimming costumes in long tall Sally but too pricey so have been scouring ebay. Now pregnant so that complicates the search somewhat.

Checking in - 6 feet, 36" legs, size 14. I agree with those recommending J crew - their jeans and trousers are sometimes too long for me.

Anyone mentioned Old Navy yet? Delivery is expensive but the clothes is cheap, think New Look prices. Great for maxi dresses, patterned jeans and trousers and basic t-shirts.

[qwertina]

Ooh and the sale is now on oldnavy.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=41949&pageID=0.
Forgot to mention most of their products have lots of reviews, which are worth reading, some of their jeans come up small and I need to go size up.
This thread is gonna cost me isn't it :D

Esprit have maternity trousers in 30/32/34 inch leg. Not all sizes in all styles mind you,

Their normal trousers are the same lengths too and they also have some great long vest tops.

[Lioninthesun]

Oh yes, Old Navy are good - cheap but their jumpers are actually long enough - am a size 10 and go for a medium. They are cheap, but last a year or two at a stretch. Better pricewise if you can send it to someone in US to post to you though

[Lioninthesun]

Would say mediumis 10-12 rather than 8-10 btw

[TheSmallPrint]

Old Navy are the sizes American? So if I want a 14 what size should I order?

[SoupDragon]

a US 10 is a UK 14.

[TheSmallPrint]

Thanks Soup

I am 6 feet tall, 34 ins inside leg, size 9 feet.

I am wearing some Zara trousers today...very long. Even though I have had to buy large and I am size 12 [ shock]

[sedgieloo]

5'9 and a half. Size 6 shoes. Size 12 clothing 33-34 inch leg needed. Bought the red dress mentioned up thread thanks!!

Unable to link from my phone just now but...I can rec the topshop midi jersey double layer pencil skirt for just below the knee. Really flattering too.

Balls have discovered J Crew Tall !
What is the sizing like ?

[OnTheNingNangNong]

Sizing is on the large size for J Crew, definitely size down, in t-shirts at least.

[GibberTheMonkey]

What's it like buying from old navy as its US?

[Northumberlandlass]

Thank you!

[kiwigirl42]

I'm 6'2, 36" inside leg. I wear Gap jeans (mens ones) and they fit perfectly. I'm a scruff bag so not too fussy about arm lengths etc

[LetUsPrey]

Went into the New Look near my office today. It's a fairly large branch. They don't have the Tall range in store. They have the new Petite range but haven't been told whether they'll get the Tall stuff. Was told they sell it online. I don't want to have to buy it online. I want to go into the shop, try stuff on and hopefully buy it.

Mini rant over.

[MyFabulousBoys]

Monkey-armed 5'11" here too. Marking place to read thread later.

Thanks for starting this!

[Lioninthesun]

Gibber Old Navy is pretty cheap until you do the delivery charges bit. I haven't returned anything though so if that is what you mean I am afraid I can't help.

[Lioninthesun]

I can recommend their cable knit sweaters when they come back in stock too - they aren't wool but don't shrink and fit my monkey arms well - good for wearing a shirt under and usually go on sale too so you can get them for about $19 which is a bargain in my book! Can't see any on there atm though. I also like their toddler socks and think that as the company is linked to Gap it is pretty much the same as their baby socks :) tangent

[SkinnyDecaffGiraffe]

Joining too.

5ft 10.5. Size 12,size 7 feet. Looonnnge body.

Bought a lts swimming cossie. It's still too short

[ChocolateCremeEggBag]

I'm a runty 5ft9 with a 5ft11 DSis but sharing my "finds" (and her steals)

Isabella Oliver (now Baukjen) long T-shirts and maternity jeans (££ but look on eBay)

ME&Em ruched maxi dress - it's SOOO long. On my tip toes it still trails o the floor so it should def be long enough for the tallest of you lot!

[DramaAlpaca]

I recently got a couple of long vest tops from the Red Herring range at Debenhams online.

They come in lots of colours, are reasonably priced, and come down to my hips (instead of my midriff!) so I'd recommend them.

[OnTheNingNangNong]

For those who asked about Primark jeans (Sorry I can't remember ). They had straight and bootleg jeans in a 'long' 34" and from size 8 to size 20, very cheap too and they are a true denim style rather than the super soft.
