After ruthlessly discarding everything in the wrong color and style a few months back, I had to :)</p> <p>One tip though, they did say (can't remember where I red it) that they had amended the sizing a bit, but I was quite surprised to see that some of the items I tried on were no longer good for me in size M, but S or even XS! A day has come when I'm officially tiny and I have a tag to prove it. </p> <p>Regarding other brands Angie mentioned, if I mad add my two pennies worth, I do struggle with most of them when it comes to trousers, most brands consider 33'' to be long length and for me 36'' is the minimum.</p> <p>Also, some other European brands you might check are: Topshop (but their sizes are frustrating, I'd need to go as far as 16 or even 18 at times - very very bad for the self-esteem), Dorothy Perkins (I remember some great finds for tall maternity clothes), next.co.uk had started doing Tall range (and they really are tall) and Mango. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-online-or-retail-stores-for-tall-gals#post-238322 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 03:06:21 +0000 Jill 238322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh angie, thank you so much! i really appreciate your help. i especially appreciate the euro brands and the canadian recommendation. i will definitely take a look.</p> <p>~jill </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-online-or-retail-stores-for-tall-gals#post-238199 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 23:00:42 +0000 Angie 238199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure, Jill! I have a few 6 ft tall clients and a 6ft 2 inch tall friend. You can purchase Talls quite successfully online: J.Crew, Gap, BR, AT and Nordies. Also, certain Euro brands are cut long - like Mexx, French Connection and Zara. </p> <p>Canadian Store "Tall Girl" is worth a look too. </p> <p>Unfortunately, you'll find longer sleeve and trouser lengths on better end items - which cost a pretty penny. So try those in department stores too.</p> <p>Thanks for the compliment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-online-or-retail-stores-for-tall-gals#post-238173 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 22:20:56 +0000 Jill 238173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi angie,</p> <p>i read your blog religiously and find your tips and guidance incredibly useful on a daily basis. </p> <p>i have a quick question and i would greatly appreciate any guidance. i have a client who is just over 6 feet tall and i just don't have loads of experience shopping for very tall clients. would you be willing to share any great stores (either retail or online) that would be good for her to start shopping?</p> <p>thank you in advance for your guidance and consideration!</p> <p>~jill wittwer </p>
