>how tall are you?
167cm/5'6" which is right at that borderline of what works for lolita (pic related, Meta says >5'3" is Plus Size)

>what substyle(s) (or j-fashions, if you wear multiple) do you wear?
sweet, liz lisa, axes femme

>best/worst brands for tall people in your experience?
IW has the best length otks, but they don't release white ones much, it's all ivory or black. AP, BtSSB, and Meta OTKs all slide down under my knee. But even IW blouses are short in the sleeves.

>best tips or advice you might have for others?
Adjustable straps only, embrace UTKs, buy loliable normie tights (for example I got sheer polka dot ones from Amazon), short-sleeve tops, IW and Axes Femme cardigans. For Liz Lisa sweatshirt/sweater OPs that the models wear as-is, add a skirt for length; sakupan are good for not flashing people.

>feel free to gripe about being a giraffe-chan

(pic says plus size but is actually plus plus size)
They reccommend plus plus size for anyone over 5'3". I fit in dresses that have 100cm max bust so regular size, but I'm 5'6". I wonder if I should try plus size or plus plus size so I can have a looser fit and longer length like japanese lolitas do or if I'd be totally swimming in it? Plus plus size's minimum bust is 103.

Dang it, I'm 5'5" like the model in pic related so I would love to buy the size between the two shown. But it's such a special occasion type of dress - I wish it was one from their Basic Series instead so I could more wear out of it. But it makes sense for a special thank-you to choose a special dress. Also that pink is so cute, but it's only in Plus Plus Size and not in Plus Size.
