The last time I had looked the only items out there were pants. I'll probably order a blouse and maybe a dress from Banana Republic to check-out the proportion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-extra-length-needed#post-65824 Sun, 17 May 2009 21:32:31 +0000 Kyle 65824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also 5' 10." Here are my suggestions for finding the right fit. If you find something you like in the store, there's often a good chance it is available online in a tall. This is true for Banana Republic, J. Crew, Ann Taylor Loft, Ann Taylor, GAP, JCPenney, Land's End (online) e-Vanity (online), and Eddie Bauer, to name a few. Pricier brands at Dept. Stores are often more generous in terms of length than more affordable brands, but not always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-extra-length-needed#post-65795 Sun, 17 May 2009 16:07:53 +0000 April 65795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RTW: Ready to Wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-extra-length-needed#post-65794 Sun, 17 May 2009 16:02:41 +0000 Angie 65794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum!

Not sure where you are in the world but here in the uk we have long tall sally who specialise in clothes for taller women and topshop and new look both do ranges x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-extra-length-needed#post-65741 Sun, 17 May 2009 00:41:50 +0000 shellr 65741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie,<br /> I am a little taller than average (5' 9.5") and my height is distributed fairly evenly up and down my body. This results in bust darts, waistlines and hiplines that hit me too high and an overall "skimpy" proportion. Do you have any suggestions for getting good fit in RTW, especially dresses, jackets and blouses?<br /> Thanks,<br /> shellr </p>
