Tall women this way. . .

Because I would love to know your style secrets and where you shop. It’s a nightmare!

Currently I’m looking for a floor length evening dress but as many of the high street stores dresses will be too short, I’m struggling to find much choice. Can anyone advise?

Have you looked at ASOS tall and Next Tall? I also find Zara long enough for me.

I tend to dress more for my body shape, than my height. I'm an inverted triangle, so try and stick to those rules.

Long Tall Sally. Do not like their casual wear gnerally but they do have long eveningwear.

ASOS tall definitely. Although I'm 6ft and their long dresses tend to be too long! But that's a nice problem to have for a change

Asos has a decent offering. LTS is worth a look occasionally. Not sure Next have anything evening-y, but day to day clothes in their Tall section are decent. Eshakti does made to measure for reasonable prices but has a bit of a lead time for delivery. Some Ghost dresses come up quite long. I'm 6'2 and got married in a Ghost dress that come down to my ankles - I'm 6'2.

If budget allows, have a look on Outnet. Designer stuff is usually longer for larger sizes (ie 12 vs 8) than high street tall ranges (too short for me at 5’11 and a bit).

Dorothy Perkins do some nice long dresses too. Boohoo also do a cheap and cheerful tall range.

Thanks all, some great suggestions here!

How tall is tall? I’m 5’10 and have a couple of long dresses from Monsoon that are long enough.

No good for evening dresses but I live in Gap Tall jeans and tops.

I have a couple of lovely Next evening jumpsuits and an evening dress. Often the Tall is too long for me, I'm 5'10".

I'm currently looking for something like these Saint and Sophia apartment pants uk.saintandsofia.com/collections/bottoms/products/apartment-pant-Black in a 33" leg. LTS have some that might be OK but I have found LTS a bit frump in the past.

I’ve just looked at the website and think the designer was Badgley Mischka.

Im 6ft and find Dorothy Perkins some Next, H & M, Asos good
