I also got leggings from tall girls. ..36" long...for £19, good price I thought

MrsBucketxx · 18/07/2013 07:26

Sainsburys ones are only a tenner.

I do like the floral tall girls ones , although I'm thinking I'm a bit too old for them

I am 6,1 but size 14/16 with an area you can balance a pint on which makes shopping tricky - also have huge size 44 feet - am a fashion disaster so this thread is really helpful!

Sunnyfeet · 13/05/2014 18:35

I'm 5' 6" and a half (can't do a 'half' symbol on my phone) and I thought I was tall? But clearly not? Everyone around me tells me I'm really tall, makes me feel a bit weird sometimes. Yet I was recently measured by the nurse, and I definitely haven't grown. Maybe everyone around me is a dwarf?

However, I often find 'regular' length fitting too short, and the 'long' fitting too long. But I'm not tall apparently, so sorry to have butted in!!!

Jamdoughnutfiend · 13/05/2014 18:39

Area = arse - bloody ipad

mrsbucketxx · 13/05/2014 19:44

That's ok sunny. Its hard not getting stuff to fit however tall you are.

Ooh, I had to come straight onto this! I'm only 5'10 (never thought I'd say that!) Size 14 but with big hips and shoulders. What my mum calls 'farmers wife' style (which is not an insult to farmers wives, and we do come from generations of farming families!) I find tops the hardest- I dread the trouser/top gap and tend to wear tunics as tops with jeans. I just feel to big to be feminine if you know what I mean.

madrigals yes, I've got fairly long legs, I think this makes me look taller than I really am. My husband is 5' 11", and I've got longer legs than him!

CPtart · 13/05/2014 20:29

5ft 9" here with a 34" leg. I look average height when sitting down!
Great thread.
