Whilst having long legs is a physical attribute that many in society deem desirable, finding clothes to fit them often proves itself to be a huge headache.

Whether it's having to upsize around the waist to gain some length on the bottoms, questioning if I can get away with donning a super cute skirt or dress (that is almost always a tad too short, to begin with), or having to deal with three quarter length bottoms that were actually meant to be full length - being part of the tall girls club can be EXHAUSTING.

Shopping online is also a seriously high-stakes experience for us long-legged folk, with often confusing or inconsistent sizing charts.

But no fear, your fellow giraffe is here to aid you on your shopping escapades and turn your time trying on clothes into the stuff of dreams - Tall Girl woes BEGONE!
