Tall Women's Dress

You and your excess of 5 feet 7 inches fall into a dignified category with legal size folders. Try as we might to perceive the manila bias free, it's impossible not to apply unconscious archetypes between folder dimensions. The standard size may have a dainty charm, but that legal size portends sharp, significant intelligence.

Like it or not, the majority of the abbreviated public judges your stature similarly. You, my lady are noticed, accompanied constantly with presumptions for strength of character. One of the worst responses to this attention is to shrug under your heighty responsibility. Stooping and slumping will not reduce your height, it will only reduce your presence and credibility.

Embrace your elongated elegance, and flaunt what the rest of us try to create by illusion. Begin with the realization that enviable height begins and ends with legs: long, strong pedials. The remainder of your length simply needs to be brought into proportion. While long torsos, arms, and necks all contribute to the master goal of reaching the pent-house shelf, without purposeful management, they can quickly allude to the gangly image of a newborn giraffe.

Below are suggestions on ways to strategically save and splurge your height:

Wear accessories in proportion to your stature. This opera length strand celebrates your luxurious length. Your strong presence also allows for exploration into wide collars, large buttons, and other oversized details, all which lie peacefully astride your statuesque frame.

Extended torsos and arms require visual pruning. The jacket's loosely fitted half sleeve and cropped length ensures that arm and torso lines are not exaggerated. Nothing highlights altitude like structural sisters: tight and uninterrupted. Clothing should skim rather than seal your figure.

(The cropped length works on this ensemble because the ruffle of the dress will peak out below it. However when no second longer layer is available/appropriate, select a jacket ending mid-thigh, which will better truncate a long torso.)
This brightly hued frock flaunts not only the sheer volume of inches in your figure, but also the intricate taper of each curve along the dissension. At 43.5 inches it should be hitting the knees of even the leggiest specimen.
The amplitude of inches contained in your lower half allows you to frivolously spend a few on shoe adornments which would bankrupt short, inch thrifty legs. Experiment with all kinds of adornments from cuffs to straps to highlight your shapely ankles.


Another statement accessory, this set showcases your majestic neck. (If, however, you feel like your neck is a bit too uppity, try matching it up with a high neckline, anywhere from a boat neck to a turtle-neck will provide proper proportions.)

There's a basis for the stereotypical tall model. Long figures allow fabrics to drape without disturbance. Knits such as this allow you to showcase your innate talents. Just be careful that you are applying a drape not a tent. Aim for tall, not big.

Vertical lines elongate visual impressions. These horizontal lines re-align the eye to a more proportional torso and upper limbs. When selecting tops, be sure full sleeves reach a quarter inch below your wrists to avoid looking like you've outgrown your vesture.


36 inches of precisely cut denim to glorify your leggy legs. If your foundational limbs are particularly slender in addition to tall, swerve away from stilt by opting for cuffs and/or a wider leg flare.

Tall girls are not condemned to "big feet" flats. Strap on your heels, throw your shoulders back, and stride forward with confidence.
