Clothes For Tall Women

Bianca Jagger’s white suit she wore for her wedding in 1971 is iconic.  It was made by legendary Saville Row tailor Tommer Nutter.  He has made suits for the Rolling Stones, Yoko Ono and Elton John and many more.  With Saville Row you are paying for the prestige and `By Appointments` above the door, expect to pay between £1,000 and £2,500.  If your budget can stretch to bespoke tailoring, remember there are very talented tailors up and down the country, in every major city- they are not just confined to one famous street in London.  Always go to someone who has been recommended.  Expect to pay approximately £1,000 for suit that could last you 20 years because of the craftsmanship and fine quality materials used.  If you get a timeless style, rather like a Chanel Suit - you’ll wear it again and again.

Well, you can learn to love your body although it is rare to find a women who is completely happy with her shape.  Dressing to suit your body type can give you confidence.  Caryn Franklin, presenter of the Clothes Show for 12 years, outlines five ‘tall’ basic body shapes and if you are not sure which one best descibes you, she explains in more detail.
