Amelia in H&M Skinny Jeans & Primark Top |
As soon as Amelia was born on the 20th September 2007 we knew she was going to be a tall one. In pictures of people holding her, her legs were already way over the ends of their arms. There began our stuggle with getting clothing to fit her correctly. I mean you have Long Tall Sally for women, but in 2015 i do believe that there isn't a brand solely dedicated to tall kids.
The easiest option we found when she was a baby was to always have her in dresses which i suppose isn't a bad thing being a girl, but when she started crawling we would of loved something that would protect her knees.
When Amelia started walking we struck the jackpot on a day out to Mcarthur Glen designer outlet in York. We found that Ralph Lauren clothing fit her like a glove. From jeans to tennis dresses she was set! Now obviously this became rather expensive & being a bit of a tom boy Amelias expensive jeans & tennis dresses didn't last long.
Amelia in H&M Skinny Jeans & H&M Basic Long Sleeve Top |
It was only at the age of 5 that we came across a brand that we still use to this day. It's affordable yet good quality. Fashionable yet comfortable. More importantly, it fits Amelia like a glove! The brand i speak of is H&M. If you like me have tried all the ugly elasticated or adjustable waist jeans, bought the next size up for length only to find they hang off at the waist, then i think you should check out H&Ms skinny jeans. They are FAB! Their basic long sleeve tops are of a good length in the body & the arms too, meaning i don't have to go a size up for the sleeves & body to be long enough & then have the width of the top looking like a sack.
Of course we still find the odd gem that fits perfectly here & there at other shops, but if i just want to update Amelias wardrobe in one quick shopping trip the H&M is my go to store.
So, now it's your turn. Please let me know in the comments below of any stores that you shop at for your tall, slim girls. If you have done a Blog post on this subject then i would love the link to that too!
It is an issue that has been bothering me for nearly 8 years now & i just can't understand why nobody has filled the niche.
