 Left - animal print chiffon frill dress - Next - Tall £55
Right - grey and cream t-bar platform sandals - Next -  sizes 42 and 43 - £25

Hurrah for Next and their size 9 (43) shoes and their extra long lengths.  Also for launching their Tall range for women over 5′10.  They don’t stock these sizes in store, not in my local branch anyway, but you will find these online or by ordering from the Next Directory.  Their sizing states that the ‘Extra Long’ which is available in most of their jeans and trousers are a 34″ inside leg measurement however I’ve found them come up to 35″.  The Tall Range states its a 35″ inside leg, so will probably have a little extra .  Boots and sandals are a true size 9 -(43) .  The Sole Reviver range are good for wide feet.  Alas, the only downside are the Next ballet shoe styles which come up too small. Also check Next Denim for tall sizes.

I heart gladiator sandals
