Anyone here over 5ft10 and at least a size 20/22?

Where do you buy your clothes?

I hate Evans but it's the only place on my high street I can buy anything except sometimes wallis.
Tops are ok, but jeans are too short in the body for me so fit badly.

Everything else is just plain frumpy.

I like dresses.

Have you tried Ann Harvey? More expensive than Evans, but the quality is also much better.

Some of the styles can be a bit frumpy, but I've had a few really lovely pieces from there (mostly in the sale!) over the past few years so it's always worth a look.

I'm not a great fan of dresses, but they do always seem to have a good selection.

Sadly we dont have an Ann Harvey in worcester as far as I can tell.

Dorothy Perkins and long tall Sally go up to a 22. LTS can be ordered from their site. They're quite expensive but you can get half price stuff in the sales and they are very good quality. Dorothy perkins you would probably have to take a trip into Birmingham or to Merry Hill to get their tall range as I'm sure the Worcester branch wouldn't stock it. Or try their site.
I'm assuming you have long legs? HTH Smile

Yes quite long legs. Sadly LTS dont seem to like my size 22. :( Nothing I get from there fits me.

Yes I do think a lot of their clothes are cut for thin women. I seem to remember marisota did larger/taller sizes but I never brought anything so I can't comment on the quality.

I'm 6ft and a size 20/22. So I get my jeans from Simply be, which are the Eve bootcuts with 35inch inner leg. They are very high cut at the waist, which is great for me as I have major tummy issues, and theyu don't cut the flab in half. They must be worn with long skimming tops though, or will look like granny jeans.

New Look are good for similar type jeans, their inspire range go up to a 34 inch leg.

For tunics/tops/dresses, La redoute do really nice ones, very long. New Look again are good too, I'm actually quite surprised normal height people buy anything from them, their stuff is so long!
