Long length wrap dress?

I have searched in vain. I am considering a local seamstress but before I take the plunge, has anyone found:
Plus size (22/24)
Good quality
Flattering wrap dress
For a tall person to come longer than a midi but shorter than a maxi
Preferably 3/4 sleeves

A typical Monsoon / Boden style wrap or knot front dress but long. If you are a designer please make them available!! Has anyone found them? Thank you.

And others stories had some. I'm looking for a knee length one but can only find midis.

turkeyboots · 20/04/2019 08:54

Ah, ignore me. And other stories don't do anything larger than a 16.

I'm confused boden have loads of 22L

ohhelpohnoitsa · 20/04/2019 13:15

alltheeastereggs I will have a browse with fresh eyes Often they are too short unless full maxi. I am 5ft 10. Off the google. .

Did you find anything yet?
I agree it's annoying when online retailers stock petite or long but in limited range of sizes.

I knew about boden because they usually have midi dresses in a 22L but not 22R and they are too long for me (5'7')

Next does a 20 tall but not a 22 tall I believe

It's all so annoying

Did you look at long tall sally?

Looking for similar - although I’m 6’ & a 14/16, can’t find anything at all. I’ve considered finding a dressmaker to copy this:

www.silkfred.com/boutiques/dancing-leopard/clothing/yondal-dress-in-nude-leopard

Every single dress, including this one & similar has a sewn waistband that sits about 5” above where it should! Watching with interest..(hope you find something OP)

But i’d like to be able to wear it for other stuff as well. The person wasn’t close so no bad associations ( I wore something I loved to my mum’s funeral and could never wear it again)

It has to be black. I’m 5’5 and size 16/18, but don’t like fitted things. Mid calf length and preferably cotton or linen. What I’d really like is a Seasalt dress but in black, but they don’t do them. I don’t really do dressing up, so it needs to be simple. Any ideas?

BertrandRussell · 22/04/2019 11:11

Oops, sorry!

Still looking. A lady near me has advertised that she can make them tailored but the first one is about £150 then £80-90 once she has a pattern. That's a lot to me though I do think it may be worth every penny. I wonder if I could make one myself? That leopard print dress is great but longer for me. I havent seen the Seasalt ones but I love their swimwear or is that Seaspray?! Will take a look.
