Tall Dresses at Dress-Directory.com
in focus:
Tall dresses are cut for women 5'9" and taller. The following sizing tips should help you find a dress that fits your particular figure right. A word of caution: no two vendors size dresses exactly the same way so you should always check the size charts provided by a retailer.
Differences between Tall and Misses Cuts
Tall size
dresses are cut for women 5'9" and taller. Misses size dresses best fit women
who are 5'4" to 5'9" tall. Differences in cut include longer
hem lengths, longer torsos and sleeves.
Tall Plus Size Cuts
Tall Plus Sizes begin at size 12WT. Like their regular plus counterparts,
plus size tall dresses have more room in cut in the hip, waist and bust
line, and arm holes are placed slightly lower. Tall plus size dresses have
longer hem and sleeve lengths and longer torsos.
Fit and Formal Gowns
Formalwear like
prom dresses,
bridesmaid dresses and
wedding gowns
frequently need to be ordered 8 to 12 weeks in advance, so plan ahead. Because
formal gowns are often cut to mold to your figure, it isn't uncommon to need to
go up one, two, even three dress sizes. When choosing the best size, take the
cut into consideration. If the dress style is close cut across the bust, match
the size to your bust measurements. If it closely skims across the hips,
pay the most attention to the waist and hip measurements provided when choosing
your size. Tailoring once the gown arrives for minor adjustments will ensure the
perfect fit for your special occasion.
