Does Me+Em only suit tall people?

Does Me+Em only work on tall people? The models look about 6ft and the website helpfully tells you what size they are but not how tall. I am 5ft 2, standard size 8. Will I have to have huge amounts chopped off bottom of trousers and dresses to make them fit my poor stumpy little legs?!

I'me 5'8"
I have a Me and Em dress which fits perfectly, knee length, and trousers where I had to turn up about 3".

In my experience, it mainly suits wealthy people who want to wear polyester.

Oh, and 32" inside leg

It's not looking good. I'm too short, not wealthy and hate polyester 😁

I'm 6'2 and their stuff is too short for me.

I love Me and Em. I am 5 7' and a size 14. The sizes are quite generous. I have just looked at the tops I have from there- they are cotton / modal. No polyester in anything I have bought from them.

My dd (5 ft 4ins) has a couple of lovely summer dresses that fit her perfectly (and they are 100% cotton).

I'm 5'3. I have one of their ruched jersey dresses and a tube skirt from days of yore. They finish immediately below the knee and the length is adjustable anyway because of the ruching. However the current stuff is cut quite differently and, although I like some of it, I've wondered too whether it might swamp me.

So not much help really!

They are indeed expensive but their sales are excellent. My dress and skirt are great quality and after 6 or 7 years haven't bobbled at all.

I'm 5'3" and have a pair of their crop trousers that are nearly full length on me. Their trousers are excellent quality and flattering but Long. Their catalogue has notes on each pair of trousers advising how much they can be shortened without changing the look. Why they don't just make different leg lengths is beyond me.
