kill'd me

I may be able to do it but I have no idea what brands are long legs friendly. But yeah with submissions I could compile a list. I have too much free time anyway.

>>7959238

I kind of started a blog for tall lolita stuff, but I've been really busy lately and haven't had time to put everything up yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

IW, JetJ, MM, VM, Jane Marple, ETC are all fairly decent length wise generally.

Hold on, isn't magic pop just the revamped version of moon kitty productions that was owned by someone who sent people wrong products and said that every questionable review was from someone who had a vendetta against her?

>>7960679
I have no idea, I just posted stores I found that have a taller option

Summary:
http://thegodthatiskim.tumblr.com/post/82348585367/do-not-support

I think all Taobao brands that make custom size items should work but there are so many to list them all.

>>7960666
lockshop tights are also super tall (and plus-size) friendly. I can't find them on the new site though.

Honestly there aren't brands that are tall friendly, but a lot of different brands have tall friendly pieces from time to time.

Also, being tall is one thing, but the proportions are another. I'm 5'9 and I am all leg, I have a fairly average to short torso so I can wear things like 89cm AP and look just fine where as my friend who is only 5'7 with a longer torso cannot.

It is probably going to be a lot more work because some brands offer things at random and most of them would work for girls with only longer legs.

The only tall friendly brand is haneuli

>>7961752
Haenuli is too friendly to tall people. You need to be a good six feet for her stuff.

>>7961852
>I am 6 feet
yes and is this a problem? to me its a godsend to actually fit into something.
I bought a Haenuli dress, and when I tried it on I cried out of happiness because something fit me.

>>7961852
exactly, that's the good part, finally I can wear lolita without looking like I'm wearing clothing way too short for me

> tfw I love AP but could never wear 90% of it

>>7961865
Not saying it's a bad thing, anon. I'm 5'7, and a pair of Haenuli tights seriously went up to my neck. A shame, because her prints are fucking gorgeous.

>>7961865
calm down

>>7960666
For socks and tights, especially thigh highs and otks, you'll want to go for Sockdreams. I'm 159cm with a 28in inseam and their thigh high items go right to my crotch.

lets post some tall friendly second hand clothes.

Taobao shops that still offer custom sizing for tall people.

There sure are tons of others but that are the most popular ones, the term for custom size products on taobao is "定制".

Anyone know any good places to purchase otks/thigh highs for us mommy longlegs?

I bought the recent Haenuli stained glass release but bodice and skirt were actually quite short. Fuck you, womanlets, for making them fix their proportions. I'm totally butthurt.

>>7963671
>http://rose-melody.taobao.com/
Don't do tops from them. I got custom tops from them any the didn't make the sleeves longer...

>>7965128
...I have a dress from them and the sleeves fit just fine, didn't you tell them your arm lenght like required?

>>7965156
I did. I also have dresses from them that are just fine, but for some reason the 3 blouses I ordered aren't.

>>7965176
>>7965156
with dresses do they lengthen the bodice as well?

bump

Does anyone have recommendations for long sleeve boleros and cardigans for lolita that will work for a 65cm sleeve length? I'm really struggling to find any.

>>7971683
Get a custom one from bunny house or the floral notebook (both on FB). Also look through normalfag stores, sometimes you get lucky.

>>7966627
They do.

>>7965100
>>7961918 said it above, but SockDreams has some lovely thigh highs. I'm 177 cm (didn't bother taking my inseam, but my legs are a little shorter than average) and own the N-stripe thigh-highs and lace-top thigh-highs, and both hit mid-thigh or higher. Check the reviews; people usually comment if socks are particularly long.

>tfw used to "thigh highs" becoming knee highs

>>7973609
ooh, because a lot of brands with custom sizing are known to fuck up the bodice so I was pretty worried.

fuck the other thread, does anyone want me to find dresses that are suitable for tall girls for sale second hand?

>>7961890
u don't get it :^)

>>7978353
If you want to that would be pretty awesome of you. We honestly need a Tall JFash sticky since this info is so hard to find elsewhere

Aside from the length of dresses being too short do you guys ever have issues with the waist being right under your boob (on dresses where it's not intended)?

>>7982919
Yes. The first JSK I ever bought luckily had adjustable button straps, I'm going to make straps with buttone holes on end and buttons on the either so I can elongate the dresses and move the bust down. I know I've read that another anon said they tie their JSk staps around their neck like a halter neck

>>7959238
why the fuck does Mana-sama have better legs than me

Baby and AATP have been really tall-friendly lately as well. Many of their dresses are 95cm or longer (particularly the more classic and OTT style ones).

>>7982980
I wanted to buy my first dress from taobao but going by their measurements and comparing to the picture it seems the waist is boob level. So I was thinking skirts is the way to go.

Very new and recently ordered a dress for my first coord. At 5'7" I'm not ridiculously tall, but to fit the dress I wanted lengthwise I would've had to go for a medium while an extra-small was absolutely perfect for my hip/waist/bust measurements. I ended up ordering in between at a regular small, so I'll have to see how that fits when it gets here.

>>7982998
Yeah that's what I've decided too. Skirts cut out all of the bullshit

>>7982919
ALWAYS. First it was a pain, now I always alter the straps on JSK's and actually learned that I can look cute in empire waist. BC all normal waist jsk's are emprie waist on me even after lengthening straps.
And I can never buy brand OP's, and that sucks D:

>>7982996
It gets on my nerves when people assume a longer skirt makes a tall friendly dress. it des not, The real issue is the bodice, argh. A short dress is very easy to fix, you can wear an underskirt or add a tier of ruffles or tulle. But when the bodice is too short there is only so much you can do.
Lengthening the straps on JSK's is tricky, if you lengthen them too much it looks weird because the bust part will be too low. And with OP's it's especially tricky. If it's a solid color OP and you don't mind altering brand, what I did once was getting the dress to a professional seamstress and she added panels of fabric on the shoulder seams. It worked wonders!

>>7985135
>tfw 5'10
>short torso
sorry bbys.

I think that some girls also don't take into consideration differences in torso length. Having a short torso and long legs is prett uncommon though.

>>7982998
I find it a pain that brands usually list the dress's total length and skirt length, but not the bodice's lenght. And no, substracting the skirt length from the total length does not work. Yea, I tried doing that with no sucess.
When buying second hand I can always ask the seller to measure it for me but it would be so useful to have that stuff on Lolibabry

>>7985143
>>7985139
>>7985135
>>7985122
How do you tell if you have a short torso or not? Is there a ratio or something to have?

>>7985175
Hm. I don't really know actually. Nothing fits there, so I guess mine is long? It's a very good question tho, now I'm curious.

>>7985139
Oy I'm so yelly of you. You are right, I had no thought of that!

You guys I'm 5'11 and I really really need one of those cute trapezoidal chiffon dresses from AP. Pic related, very interested in Whip Show Case and Melty Cream Doughnut but also Holy Lantern, cosmic and Misty Sky.
Do you think I could pull it off? Skirt length is not a problem for me, I'm concerned abouth the main fit of the dress

>>7985730
Also what about this kind of cut? Impossibru for Amazon me?

>>7985739
no, but you could take the collar off on that one and it works like a strapless, hence why I put it in the tall lolita friendly item list above

>>7985730
if skirt length isn't a problem for you high waisted cuts are still a no go, that will hit you mid boob.

Quake, Terrigen mists, Inhumans, The fucking Reader, Tripp.... Terrigenesis..

>>7985730
>>7985739
Most dresses I've tried on with a set torso cut will land under my boob rather than my waist.

>also 5'11"

>>7985739
This could work if I'm 5'6", right?
>tfw 168 cm is basically also amazon in AP

>>7985143
How does it not work? Do they measure badly? Did you buy something and the bodice length was different?

>>7985175
No idea but that's probably something you notice when shopping for regular clothing? I know regular dresses end up with their waists a little to high up all the time. Or someone looking at you could tell?

>>7985175
You would probably want to look at both your nape of neck to natural waist measurement and your inseam/total height ratio.

Average nape of neck to waist measurements range from 14in to 17in depending on how tall you are.

>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_standard_clothing_size

(There are probably other countries listed on wiki as well, but I found the US one first when I googled.)

Here's a site with a bunch of charts. You can pick a height that's close to yours and see if your "back to waist" measurement is similar to the chart for the average.

As for the inseam/total height ratio, the average for women is 0.45 I believe. A ratio of 0.48 is considered aesthetically pleasing.

>>7986199
Dropped my pic.

Here's the nape to waist measurement depicted in a diagram.

>>7985175
I read that you need to place two hands (place hands horizentally) between your natural waist and right under your boobs. If two hands fit, you're evenly proportioned. If they don't fit, you have a short torso. If there's still space left, you have a long torso.
This probably can be explained in a better way but I'm tired.

>>7986000
Woopsie sorry didn't see that up there. I should try without the neck thingie, but it's sad because it's so pretty :(
>>7986015
Yeah same here, but I do that with traditional cut dresses and it looks fine. I was wondering if with this different cut it meigth be ok?
This in the pic is me wearing AP's Dressy Rose without the sraps. Compared to the model on the right that's not too bad eh?
>inb4 omg why u no wear a blouse! Omg what's up with those shoes!
This was not intended to be a Lolta coord, I just wore the dress casually on a hot day

>>7986224

Yeah, but height is also a factor. Maybe you're evenly proportioned, but if you're significantly taller than average your waist is still going to be longer than most standard sizing, especially if you're not otherwise very large.

>>7986635
Your shoes are awful but I love the look of this dress, could totally be ok as a nice formal summer dress for a wedding party.
