I've picked out my favourites from the new season, but if you're knocking around London in March, you can nip over to their pop-up shop in Regents Park and try them on for yourself. Their sizing depends on the item, but you can get shoes up to a 12, and clothes go up to a 20 in some areas, though not all.
This fantastic beach girls print dress (£49, 10-18) sums up everything that's right about this collection. The print! When I saw that marvellous print I pretty much burst into tears. Look at that nipped in banded waist! (The fact tall women even have waists is frequently lost on designers) And the v-neck. And a hem length that is demure without being nun-like, and party-ish without being "Oh my God, this dress is clearly the wrong length for us all.
S-W-O-O-N! I'm a big fan of bibbed tops - until I lost it, I lived in a tuxedo vest from Topshop - and this bibbed tunic is just gorgeous (£34.99, 10-14). It's sold out of size 16 already, so be quick.
These jeans aren't Tall Girls own brand, they're by Dream Jeans (10-20). I'd never heard of them until I tried them on on a whim last year - oh my good grief, they're excellent. While their promise to whittle dress sizes off you came to naught, they did make my lower regions and pins look absolutely outstanding. They are - whispers it - £99. They come in five colours and are due in in six weeks time.
I usually like a lower neckline than this (steady!) but I would make an exception in the case of this butterfly print dress (£49, 10-20) which is absolutely charming. There's also a robin print dress in the same shape.
This eau de nil wrap dress (£49, 10-16, 18 sold out) has the sort of pattern that makes me think of Laura Ashley wallpaper. I know, because I have a charcoal version of a very similar pattern adorning my walls right this minute! This, I love. I'm a huge fan of wrap dresses, the neckline is adjustably low, and the pattern is just seriously gorgeous. It's also got a cute collar and a tie belt - win.

Huzzah! Lovely things for us lovely tall, larger-than-average-footed ladies. I bought a non-awful maxi dress last year SOLELY as a result of your blog and am now lusting after the peacock pattern one. And a robin-print dress, you say? That's one of life's essential purchases, surely?
ReplyDeleteHurray Claire, I'm so glad. Everyone needs a robin! (That peacock dress is ravishing. No - ravissante! Say it in French, it's that sexy)
DeleteThat black dress with the tropical flowers is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteInnit! I got a green version of it last year - MASSIVELY long, and fits like a dream. I never thought I'd actually like a maxi dress.

ReplyDeleteKat thank you for looking after all us tall girls.
ReplyDeleteI have just ordered a few treats that work perfectly with my retro style purely as a result of reading this and all your previous tall lady posts.
