Clothes for tall women

Where do I find them?! I'm looking for a swimsuit in particular, cossies are always too short in the body but Long Tall Sally and Next Tall are drawing a blank. Is there anywhere else I can try?

Yep still shows an 8 long for me?
Maybe I am special Smile

I usually buy a couple of BHS ones for around £18 to £25 every spring. Certain styles are marked 'longer length' which I find perfect.

Its no thing of great beauty, but this is a really good length on me (5'9, long body) and I have no wedgie problems with them. I like the shorts leg style too

Ahhh I've not seen that on Boden, I'll look out for it with the other cossies :)

Sorry only just checked back now. I'm 5'11 and usually wear all sweaty Betty stuff in a medium. (I love their tops as they are a great length and don't show my muffin top off when I do venture off to do yoga!). I went for a large swimming costume and for me it seemed good. Not sexy by any stretch of the imagination but to do lengths in the pool or swim with the kids it's fine.

Ah I can see that now sleepy, it seems to be only on that style, which is odd, surely it's make sense if they gave a long option for most of their clothes?! But it's really helpful to know that they do long length :)

scribbles the suggestions down furiously -would never have thought of BHS, great tip. I really like that Slazanger one too, thank you :)

incapinka what clothes size are you and what leg length? Just wondering if sweaty Betty sizing would work for me too (6ft, size 12, 36" leg)

Incapinka · 05/01/2015 18:20

I'm a 12 too and 5'11 although think my legs are shorter than yours! I usually wear their Capri length and they are really comfy. I've also got some of their running tight bottoms (can't think what they are called - baby brain) and although a little short to me it doesn't matter. Their sale is on at the moment...!

Passthecake30 · 05/01/2015 20:37

Thanks, if your legs are shorter we must have similar body lengths so I'll take a look. I usually wear nike 3/4 leggings as tight under the knee cropsGrin

Incapinka · 05/01/2015 20:42

No worries! I didn't buy anything from them last year as was pregnant but hopefully they haven't changed their sizes... I made the mistake of having a look on their website earlier... Pretty...!
