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.

5'9.5" size 8, 34" leg. Not massively tall but I like to wear heels and as a result people think I'm taller than I am.

Main issue is finding tall clothes in small sizes. Gap Tall is excellent for this though.

Also long enough 'long' boots. Why don't online retailers tell us how tall boots are? Duo are an exception to this and their different calf sizes are excellent.

[Sunnyfeet]

Duo is the only place where I can find long boots for slim calves. Otherwise long boots look like wellies on me!

[Longdistance]

CPtart you sound just like me. I'm 5'10" with a 34/35" inside leg. It's really funny when I'm sat down, as people think I'm of average height. I stand and peoples faces are

[mrsbucketxx]

onsies are another thing i cant find

long in the body and leg

[mrsbucketxx]

ha ha ha look at this like we need to look like our clothes are too small they have ripped.

Hello all.

I'm another lanky bird (5'11).

Looking for a good tall swimsuit and struggling to find anything nice. Any suggestions?

Also, looking for tall summery maxi dresses. So little online

[SnoozyGiraffe]

New look has a few nice maxis in now, but probably too late for you? and most people - don't shops know we want to buy summer clothes in March but leave autumn/winter shopping til the end of October?

[CantThinkOfAGoodUsername]

What do we think of patterned trousers on a taller woman?

[Passthecake30]

I don't know about the height thing, I just feel too old (39) for them!

[CantThinkOfAGoodUsername]

Is 39 too old for patterned trousers? I don't think so at all if you get some nice subtle ones, I wouldn't wear any that were too 'in your face'

[Petal02]

I'm just looking at the New Look Tall range of dresses, but it doesn't give length measurements, which is a bit of a pain. I'm not sure if I'm allowed on this thread, I'm 5' 6" but have got long legs and arms, and everyone tells me I look really tall, which is a bit weird.

[BestIsWest]

How have I missed this thread?

5'10 but very long body and short legs with a giraffe neck. I love dresses but the waist is so often at the level of my tits.

[CantThinkOfAGoodUsername]

I'm about 5'11 and a bit plus I'm also larger framed at current size 20 after having DD last year but want to get back to size 16-18 which is still big but being taller I think I am well proportioned but finding clothes that fit well is so hard for me!

[rockpink]

Great thread, hello everyone. I find being 5'11" and size 14 (12 in some shops like LTS, oddly) mahoosive size 8.5 feet and 35" inside leg means I struggle with clothes.

I mainly shop on eBay, having saved searches like "tall 14 buy it now" has been great!

I have an LTS winter heavy jacket which is quite military looking and it was £120. I really hope to get about 5 years wear out of it for that price!

Hello, can I pop in?
I'm only 5'8" but I have 33inch legs. So most standard trousers are too short, but the "long" or tall versions are often too long (I'm looking at you, Next).

I have the lanky arms too, but my legs seem disproportionately long.

This is a nice length. ..I'm 6ft and it comes to my knee, it's my favourite dress atm

[peasandlove]

have any of you ladies bought this new look tall jumpsuit? wondering how it fits and how it feels being 100% poly. I dont live in the UK so wouldnt return it if I buy it here

[SnoozyGiraffe]

Yes I have it but haven't worn it yet; it's definitely an evening thing for me because of the fabric. I found it a little tight around the waist probably because I don't have one

[peasandlove]

hmmm ok, thanks for that. I'm undecided now, I had imagined wearing it on a plane type thing. Does the fabric crinkle easily?

[snowgirl1]

Ooh, a tall thread. I'm only 5' 10" but struggle to get dresses with a waist that sits in the right place or that are long enough to cover my ugly knees, so will watch this thread with interest.

[CockBollocks]

Oooooh hello!

I'm 5'11, size 14, size 8 feet.

Have discovered ASOS tall which is pretty good, they also do shoes for the larger footed!!

I'm loving these jeans at the moment, high waisted, long and enough structure to keep a wobbly tummy contained.

Can someone tell me why most Tall ranges only seem to sell plain trousers, usually black. Tried on a lovely pair of wide leg floral trousers in New Look but they don't do them in Tall

[rockpink]

Are they jeans or leggings? I am the exact same size as you!

[CockBollocks]

They are leggings but with a zip and fly like jeans. They also offer the same 'support' as jeans but are really comfy. You need to size down which is always nice, I have a pair in each colour!!!

[rockpink]

Mmmm I like the idea of them then.

[Takesalongtime]

Cantthinkofagoodusername- next tall maxi dresses tend to come up bigger. Just a thought if you liked them
