Unfortunately I can't think of anywhere mainstream that does 36" leg. Keep on eye on Long Tall Sally for sales, their jeans are expensive but so worth it as they're tailored to taller people rather than just sticking a few inches on the end of normal jeans.

not cheap or anything but what about Topshop tall?
I have jeans from that range and they are super long, I'm 5'10 and they're a bit too long. I think the leg is 36 not sure but you could check on the website.

I am 23 6ft 2, need a 36in leg and size 18 to 20, I find I do all my shopping on line cause there are no other options in Ireland.

Dorothy Perking are so hit and miss, its like three times a year they up grade there stock, and the rest of the year there is five items on line. SO the few times they have good stock I spend a lot of money.

long tall sally I find is good for dresses for occasions, or work suits, PJ's and the odd other items, but mostly there fashion is too old for me.

The other place I shop online is tallgirl.co.uk there website is a pain, but other than that they often have a good section of cloths, esp sports cloths, jeans, tights etc.

Shoes are difficult for me to get also, so usually I get them off one of the above sites, or Evans.

Usually can buy tunic tops from them too, and Dorothy perkins and does for normal tops.

What leg length does marks and Spencers have?

Check out the LTS sale section, it's near the end now, but they generally have very good reductions

I was going to say LTS - they do have nice stuff there.
Otherwise, Tommy Hilfiger do at least 34" lengths, and they're lovely and long.
Also, Only jeans are long. I got a pair of 34" length ones, and they're so long that I either have to wear heels with them or turn them up. Got mine on Amazon UK. They weren't mad expensive either.
I'm 5' 10 1/2, so about the same height as yourself.

Hi

Slight thread hijack, but it is related, I swear!

I have the not-quite-opposite problem - also about 5' 11" and 12-14 but I have average length legs and a really, really long torso.

Most tops / shirts / jumpers are way too short and end several inches above the top of my trousers, very frustrating! (and cold).

Any suggestions for shops which tend to have a long cut to their tops? In particular work shirts.

Thanks for any ideas, and apologies for thread hijack

I've gotten 36 inch leg jeans in Levis

What I do if I get trousers that are like that is have the hem let down and get a false hem put on.

Gap Sexy Boot jeans have a 37" inseam in long leg as they are cut for wearing with heels - might be worth a try?

(to put it in perspective, I wear a short leg in these with heels and I'm 5'6")

Sometimes I wish I was a fashion designer I'd Cater for tall ladies! It depresses me that I can't just walk into a shop and buy something straight away

Thanks for the advice ill check out those sites ASAP!

Thanks

Cool! Ill check those out

Managed to get a pair of Tommy Hillfiger jeans with a 36 leg in Kildare village. I know their expensive but I find it so hard to get jeans that fit that I keep an eye out for them on their sales. Ben Sherman's women's range can be bought in a 35 inch leg.

I've a really small waist and it's virtually impossible to get jeans with my waist size and a very long leg.:(

lonestargirl

Gap 'long' is 35'' and 'tall' is 37''. Many of their styles online are available in the longer lengths (gap.eu). Delivery is 4 pounds and if you order before noon I've always received them the next day.

I know youve mentioned that you dont like buying online but I get all my bottoms from topshop-36" and I have to say they're great! It used to work out cheaper too if you got a few things at once...

I have a similar problem, I'm a size 12-14, 5' 9" and a half with 33" legs but most tops are too short for me. My cheap and cheerful solution has been to buy cheap men's jumpers from Penneys. They're actually long enough and once you get the plain ones they don't look manly. They've kept me nice and warm this winter anyway! I have no solution for work shirts unfortunately, thankfully I work somewhere quite casual.

I'm very sad that the New Look Tall range is gone, it was great for short skirts and dresses that didn't look like belts on us tall girls!
