Reeeeally long maxi dresses?

[issynoho]

Anyone seen any maxi dresses suitable for 5' 9" and over? Size 18.

I know, I know, but I am hot and they keep me cool. Just like 'em floor length not anklish.

Miss Selfridge maxi dresses are VERY long. I'm five foot and the last one I bought from there had a good six or seven inches of spare material at the bottom if not more

Just got one from peacocks...I'm 6ft and it reaches my feet :)

Asda do a maxi dress for tall ladies, I bought one by mistake last week, I'm 5.6 and it had at least 6 inches spare. You would probably need heels.

New Look Tall. I'm 5'11" and they're floor skimming on me.

Oh, and, rather strangely - H&M. Their maxi dresses are often long enough (= floor length, I don't do ankle swingers) for me, but you'd need to try them on item-by-item in the shop.

Monsoon. I am 5'10" and they are perfect for me. I think they have a sale on now too, and you can often find them on EBay :-)

Thank you - off to do some research.

I'm about your height/size and the maxi I got from monsoon this season is floor skimming not ankle skimming.

I'm 5"8, the Oasis ones are trailing the ground on me

I am 5 11 and New Look tall are really long.I got a couple of jersey ones and they skim the floor on me.

Better selection online than in the shop.

I got one from Yumi online. I'm 5'11" and it skims the floor :) also have a couple from Dorpthy Perkins, but they're not quite as long.

I'm the same height and Oasis and Warehouse are both a great length for me.

Yours. Very long maxi dresses.

Thanks again folks - I'm doing lots of online trawling and will get a trip to the shops planned in too.

i just need a V-neck to show off the girls at their new Bravissimo finest, empire line to skim over the best-not-drawn-attention-to middle bit, jersey to hang well and floor length for swish and hiding legs. And not horizontal stripes. Under £50.

Update: Just been into town and Valiumredhead you are the winner! Tried stuff on all over the place and found a very serviceable dress in Yours. Now that I know their sizes, have also ordered another online with a free postage and returns code from a leaflet in the shop - STOREFD valid til 30/9/13 on purchase over £20 inc sale. The staff were really helpful too.

Thanks for all your help.

Oh great, isn't their stuff long?? I'm 5.11 and some times I have to take things up which is unheard of

Links please to the super long stuff!

I picked up a marl grey jersey maxi skirt in new look. Has split up side and thin black belt. Floor length on me at 5'11

My local New Look has stopped doing their Tall range. I did try on one from their normal range and it was long enough but jersey fabric was very thin. They are still doing their size 16+ range plain maxi which I have - It's just long enough for me at 5'9". Just looked and it's not on their website but they had lots in store - black at £20, pink or jade green in sale at £9 or 10.

All the Yours maxis were long enough on me - I bought this one I had seen it on someone I know after starting this thread, and it looks really nice on. Normally I prefer a straight-down, column maxi to minimise the 'galleon in full sail' look but this one is viscose and hangs nicely. Also makes most of an ample bosom - the neckline is very flattering and the empire line gives some definition.

And I've ordered this one

The assistants really were lovely in Yours - helpful, chatty and knowledgeable without being pushy. Really beyond what I would have expected for a cheap-ish high street place.
