That DVF dress is tempting, for sure. I love the mix of blues and the classic styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-options-for-tall-girls#post-1308960 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 16:22:28 +0000 Angie 1308960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, these will probably be long enough:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/diane-von-furstenberg-new-jeanne-2-print-silk-wrap-dress-online-only/3733695?fashionColor=SNAKE%20NAVY&amp;cm_ven=Linkshare&amp;cm_cat=partner&amp;cm_pla=10&amp;cm_ite=1&amp;siteId=fV7QgDWUWe0-7fS6pGld.y7mXAS5VGw1Fg">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/di.....e-only/373</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/marc-new-york-by-andrew-marc-colorblock-sheath-dress/3740854?fashionColor=ANTHRACITE&amp;cm_ven=Linkshare&amp;cm_cat=partner&amp;cm_pla=10&amp;cm_ite=1&amp;siteId=fV7QgDWUWe0-NAqV9HnGQ4wxfAlVfGWA4w">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ma.....ashionColo</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tory-burch-print-jersey-crepe-sheath-dress/3741856?fashionColor=REVA%20LEOPARD&amp;cm_ven=Linkshare&amp;cm_cat=partner&amp;cm_pla=10&amp;cm_ite=1&amp;siteId=fV7QgDWUWe0-UWwMWY9zy7OJCF7k8GT7sg">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/to.....r=REVA%20L</a>&nbsp;- BAD model pose.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-lace-hem-sheath-dress/3747931?cm_ven=Linkshare&amp;cm_cat=partner&amp;cm_pla=10&amp;cm_ite=1&amp;siteId=fV7QgDWUWe0-Il02Clni5V0lPLU_6vLnhQ">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi....._cat=partn</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/nicole-miller-ruched-ponte-sheath-dress/3740927?fashionColor=RED&amp;cm_ven=Linkshare&amp;cm_cat=partner&amp;cm_pla=10&amp;cm_ite=1&amp;siteId=fV7QgDWUWe0-r7XRlllgOT.Tyzz24GvAHg">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ni.....38;cm_ven=</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-options-for-tall-girls#post-1308065 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 15:43:21 +0000 Suz 1308065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, if the Kamali turtlenecks work for you, how about one of their sleeveless sheaths? I have the one with ruching and I love it. Of course I am not tall (to say the least) but this is the xs and I think the lengths go up?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-options-for-tall-girls#post-1308058 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 15:37:12 +0000 Kyle 1308058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I just got the Halogen striped skirt (the blue and black) and I think you will love, love, love it. I find the length to be perfect, and I really appreciate the structure that the fabric provides. The Halogen leather skirt in a similar style was also a great length, but I passed on it.&nbsp; I am tempted to order another of the striped skirts, but honestly I have more than enough skirts. It's the summer dresses that elude me. I have 2 Kamali turtleneck sheaths that I adore, but they have long sleeves with a knit-type fabric and are just not great for summer. It's hot here! </p> <p>Thank you for the tips and suggestions, ladies. I think I need to take a measurement off of a dress that works for me and use that as a baseline for some online browsing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-options-for-tall-girls#post-1307721 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 03:03:05 +0000 Sveta 1307721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, I missed you! And I so feel you pain on the length,..<br />I think this dress and skirts may be at least knee length and possibly longer (I know that VC midi tube skirt hits me below the knee).<br />And Suz, Sveta already ordered striped Halogen skirt and hopefully it will be long enough to keep...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-options-for-tall-girls#post-1307711 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 02:45:30 +0000 Suz 1307711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, so lovely to see you!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you may have more luck with some of the skirts. I believe Angie directed Inge to some of the Halogen ones at the sale, saying they would work for her. Are you approximately the same height? I know Sveta is planning to order one of the Halogen skirts as well.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-options-for-tall-girls#post-1307570 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 00:59:28 +0000 Windchime 1307570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm about 6' tall and feel your pain! Every time I see these leggings, my heart skips a beat--I love them THAT much. But there's no way they're long enough. :(</p> <p>I added the Betsey Johnson jacquard sheath dress, from Angie's list, to my think-about-it list. It looks like it's awfully close to knee length on the model. Sometimes there's enough hem to let out and make something work for us tall girls.</p> <p>A few other resources for tall dresses, besides those Lyn mentioned, are J. Crew, Banana Republic, Land's End, Long Tall Sally, and Top Shop, which has a large selection of tall items. For all of them except Long Tall Sally, you have to order tall sizes online. </p> <p>Hope that helps, and good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-options-for-tall-girls#post-1307562 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 00:38:11 +0000 lyn* 1307562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not -that- tall, but I like my dresses longer - I've either had to go to the British brands (Boden, Asos, Dorothy Perkins) or go the custom route (eShakti) to get anything past my knees. </p> <p>ETA: If it helps, I find things longer than 40" are usually past the knee on me. 37" is above the knee.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-options-for-tall-girls#post-1307558 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 00:28:30 +0000 Echo 1307558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is your length requirement? The Vince Camuto skirt is a bit longer (and a 24" skirt is generally knee length or longer on most people - even on the model). What do you prefer your dresses to measure? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-options-for-tall-girls#post-1307545 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 00:16:59 +0000 Kyle 1307545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to pass on some fab NAS items because they were not long enough. The lace DVF skirt was a heartbreaker. I have a need for a couple of new workhorse dresses that can be worn in warm weather, and I'm having trouble finding options that are knee length or longer. If you've seen anything fab that runs long I'd love to hear about it. </p>
