It's so frumpy and dated. I can't believe it's still turning a profit making tall women look so bad.

My dm does. I think its really expensive too. Last time I looked I couldn't see anything at all I remotely liked.

I didn't realize they still existed! About 30 years ago they were constantly promoted in fashion magazies as complete trendsville. I guess they've just stayed there, thirty years ago.

As a tall woman I think its frumpy as hell. I do grt my pj's from there its the only place I can get proper long jammies.

Gave up shopping there! Instead- next & new look.
Mrsbucket- next do tall pjs!

mrsbucketxx · 28/07/2014 16:42

Thanks Grin

yeh, there's some bad stuff in there! it's like petite ranges (I'm 5'1") they're not trying to appeal to young people, or rich people, or professionals, or bohemian types, they're trying to appeal to as many tall people as possible (or short people) so it comes up really bland.

I saw Phil Jupitus the other day with a 'High and Mighty' bag.

alltoomuchrightnow · 28/07/2014 19:58

terrible frumpy overpriced. did buy their leggings for years though, they were ok.

MrsDavidBowie · 29/07/2014 09:32

Awful shop.

CMOTDibbler · 29/07/2014 09:34

They used to have great basics that I didn't mind paying over the odds for. But now it is boring/tacky/poor quality and expensive.
I like Next tall, and ASOS tall have some nice stuff

alltoomuchrightnow · 29/07/2014 13:45

since responding to this thread, I've been bombarded with LTS adverts on FB. where do FB get this info?

ILoveYouBaby · 29/07/2014 13:58

I like that skirt! I do get a few things from their sale, I wouldn't pay full price though.

HelpMeGetOutOfHere · 29/07/2014 14:01

I'm not tall enough at 5'8 for LTS, but I'm not sure what is wrong with the skirt?

mrsbucketxx · 29/07/2014 19:51

If your using crome or firefox the cookies are saved if you looked at links or sites which fb or here uses. It happens to me to.

ChanelNumber19 · 29/07/2014 20:30

same here alltoomuchrightnow, which is funny really as I'd need to stand on a box to get a shop assistant's attention in LTS!

ThrowAChickenInTheAir · 29/07/2014 20:38

I gave up on them ages ago too. Often overpriced. I just had a look at the sale - not many bargains there.

winkywinkola · 29/07/2014 21:55

I always think a long skirt or maxi dress on a tall woman like myself makes them look like an exclamation mark. It accentuates their height and length in an unflattering, frumpy way.

Download ad blocker for Firefox. It's not till I don't have it I realise how many ads we are being bombarded with

mrsbucketxx · 30/07/2014 10:35

Winky I love my maxi's. But being curvy I think helps im not straight up and down.

MrsDavidBowie · 30/07/2014 16:58

I am six feet tall and love maxis but they have to be very slim fitting. Have a lovely black skirt from Top Shop and a dress from Tall Girls which is a favourite.
I am in Chiltern St tomorrow looking at shows so will see what monstrosities LTS have in.

MerdeAlor · 30/07/2014 17:18

I'm six feet tall too. I occasionally buy from LTS. I agree a lot of it is frumpy and dated but not all of it. Ive just brought a long skirt that looks great on, plus maxi dresses suit me winkywinkola in a non frumpy way.
