For a Mess function. It has to be long, no splits above knee level and not completely strapless. Where can someone of my height get such a thing! Hmm

Try Next Tall online. I have had to cut the bottom off their maxi dresses as too long...I am 6 feet.

I was just looking at next and couldn't see anything that fit the criteria
How about tall girls?

Saltire · 22/01/2014 13:08

I have had a look at Next, good suggestion but can't see anything suitable. I have jsut looked at Long tall sally and saw a nice japanese rose print dress, but I have had issues wth the length of their maxi dresses before i.e not being long

A few of the high street places do tall, dorothy perkins etc but it's hit and miss same with mayo and zara
There's also lanky bird, tallerthanyouraverage.com and tall girls

Next tall is too short for my 34" legs. Know you're asking for a dress but that does seem to imply that they don't know nuffink about tall people.
Sorry, can't help as I always struggle with clothes

I'm 6ft too and always hire from wish want wear for functions. Their dresses come up nice and long

Bargain

I am only 5'8", but I have a Blake dress from Baukjen which is pretty long on me.

That's a good point, baukjen dresses are very long.

Thanks everyone but the CMC has changed the womens dress code now to cocktail dresses! So now to look for one of those - below the knee.

Its stupid changing it, if tis classed as formal it shoudl be mess dress for DH and long for me.

Positive is it'll be easier to find something

MrsBucketxx · 23/01/2014 12:01

Long tall sally maybe can be frumpy but you have to sort through the crap. And you might find a gem

PrettyDressCompany. The teal colour dress with no sleeves & peplum. Can't think of the name but you are going to love me for this one!
