Reiss - only for tall, skinny types?

[Feelingoptimistic]

I went to Reiss yesterday, hoping to maybe find some things for work in the sales. But it just confirmed to me yet again that I can't do Reiss. I am quite petite, and so all the jackets I tried on were too long in the body, if you know what I mean. Also, all their clothes seem to look a bit the same every season... Or maybe it's just me...
So do I have a strange body or is Reiss designed for model types?

(On the bright side, while I had set out to buy work clothes, I spotted a lovely summer jumpsuit in Noa Noa - just waiting for my size to arrive !)

Reiss would appear to be for tall skinny types, yes.

I am tall, but not skinny.

Even a size or two bigger than my normal 14 does not fit in Reiss. Especially in trousers, where they appear to think everyone has twiglets for legs, regardless of waist size.

I think they are for skinny types but no idea on height
My friend buys lots there and she is 5'5

Have you tried Ted Baker?

I always have this issue with Reiss - they're clothes look amazing on the hanger but not on my and I am quite a normal 5ft f size ten type character. Mind you I am not very straight up and down so praps they are for tall androgenous types.
snotfair

Might have to try Ted Baker - thanks.
I am a size 6 to 8, but only 5'3, so obviously just the wrong height and shape. Joseph stuff fits me really well (trousers obviously have to be taken up but that's not a problem). Pity Joseph is so expensive...

If you fit joseph then Zara and Mango will be great for you too - sounds like you have a french/spanish shape. Lucky!

Right I have asnwered almost every thread on here. Must get a life do some work

Biggest size in Reiss? It's a size 14!

Their stuff is rather small in the back I find...

I notice that the numbers and letters lady on Countdown wears quite a bit of Reiss. Not sure what that tells us though.
