Long Tall Sally (Shop)

My profile photo doesn't really show the fact that I'm actually 5 foot 9! Now this does have it's advantages but equally disadvantages. Clothes shopping is and can be a nightmare if I don't go to the right shops. The biggest brand shops are now doing 'tall' sections like New Look, Dorothy Perkins, H&M and many more. They are good but trousers are still a bit of a problem. I would end up having to go the next size up and having the waist inches to big! It was horrible and not great I got recommended a shop in Edinburgh called "Long Tall Sally" which is for women who are tall! Long Tall Sally It ... more

What is it like being tall? It is great, except when it comes to clothing. I am not particularly tall by todays standards I am 5ft 10..But my inside leg is 35 inches…you may class me as long legs short body.

Frustrated at not being able to find clothes to fit in any of the lovely London shops and boutiques, she set about creating a ... more

I discovered Long Tall Sally one afternoon after a country walk ending at Royal Tunbridge Wells. At first I just saw the beautiful red coat in the window and stopped to have a look at the price. Then I realised it was a shop for tall women and I have never looked back. I have never shopped at a specialist tall women store before. I am 6 foot and slim without being skinny. I've always found it difficult to find clothes. Everything I owned had the hems let down and everything sat too high on my waist, and was tight under the arms. If it fit lengthwise, it was too wide. Not any more! Long Tall ... more

Long Tall Sally is a shop that sells clothes for women who are over 5'7" tall. Their mission is "to be the first choice in shopping for tall women in the UK and around the world". They have about forty shops in the UK but most of their business is done by catalogue orders/online. I started shopping at Long Tall Sally when I was about 15 - I'm only 5'9" tall but find that clothes in high street stores are sometimes a bit on the short side. ******Products****** Products include: - Clothes (sizes 10 to 20, ranging from suits to pyjamas to jogging bottoms to ball dresses) - Shoes (all with ... more
