Clothes for tall women

    I went coat shopping two weeks ago and couldn't find anything to fit me! :mad:

    I'm 5'10". Not sure what proper length my arms are, but consider them long! :pac:

    I've noticed now, shops which did 'Tall' sections, don't do that any more.

    Where do tall women buy their clothes?! Finding it hard at the moment. Any help be great.

    A lot of stores that do tall now only do it online which is really annoying. My last coat I bought in COS which I find has a longer fit across the board.

    I am far from having this problem but a close friend of mine is 5'11 and often shops on longtallsally and finds them great if that's any use.

    The topshop in Stephen's Green has a tall section upstairs.

    My wife has this problem. She recently got a coat in Vero Moda. You might get lucky in Debenhams or Next - but sleeves are always the deciding factor. She has also had to get unisex jackets (one of her current favourites is a Tommy puffer jacket in a man's size).

    LongTallSally did a pop up shop a few weeks ago in Clontarf Castle. If you register with them you could get advanced warning.

    After that, it's down to the trial and error of buying on line. Very, very frustrating - and I'm not sure why there isn't greater availablity. I guess that there are just not enough tall girls out there.

    I'm 5 10 and got a fab black coat last year in mexx. Sleeves are a perfect length which is where I usually have the problem.
