Avoid knee socks at all costs. They barely ever make it to your knees, and the extra skin makes it look like you have even more thigh. AP otks fit me well actually, but I'm pretty thin so it might be different for other people. Also, offbrand otks work alright too.

Seconding IW. I'm 5'11 and my thigths above my knee are 18.8 inches, IW OTK's fit like a charm and they don't roll or slide down, they also don't cause an ugly indentation on my fatty yummy legs. I try to wear tights under my OTK's whenever the heat allows me to.

What are everyone's solutions for long sleeves? Do you just wear wrist cuffs? I have horribly long arms, and I'm terrified of getting a long-sleeved OP because I don't want them to be too short.

>> No.7999287

>>7999268
I try to pick out blouses that have extra ruffles/lace at the sleeve, since that often makes them long enough. JetJ also usually has pretty long sleeves. There's also the option if custom; I hear The Floral Notebook is good.

OPs are harder... Princess sleeves look okay even if they're a little too short. If there are detachable sleeves, I suppose you could have new ones made to match.

>> No.7999290

>>7997912
AatP are really good if you have relatively slim legs. They're nice and long, but don't have as much sideways stretch as IW does. All of mine easily go an inch or two above the knee if not more (I'm 5' 9").

Haenuli and Teja Jamilla are my favorites for printed tights. I do fit AatP tights as well, but I would not recommend them for anyone with thicker thighs, since they don't stretch much (but the length is good).

going through tumblr for inspiration and the "#tall lolita" tag isn't used much--there are only something like four people who use it regularly, and only two of them really dress well. Not sure how tall the girls are, though.

I have a crazy-tall lolita friend, and I know that if she tags her stuff like that she'll often get really creepy giant/femdom fetish blogs reblogging her and that's no bueno. So that's always a thing to consider, people might just not want the weird attention. Polite sage for OT.

She's 5'9, someone asked her on Tumblr before.

I don't use the 'tall lolita' tag because no-one else seems to use it - if I can only get 5 tags, I'm probably better using them with brand names and substyles instead of posting amongst four other people. I think it might be a struggle for the tag to get popular - no one will look in the tag because no one posts in it, and no one will post in the tag because no one looks in it.

Dear Friends is of decent length skirt wise.
The bodice however is pretty short. I'm proportionate in terms of leg vs torso, so they're about equal and the waist definitely sits a few inches under my bust. Pic related. Sorry for the lack of legwear, the picture is just for show.

So Nameless Poem is totally worth the hype, great fabric and well constructed. I ordered a size up for length purposes and without waist ties, it's a bit frumpy on me (left). However, when I put on waist ties and tie them a bit lower than normal, I can bring down the waist and silhouette of the dress and it looks a lot better (right). I have long arms and hands and it still comes down pretty far. It doesn't quite cover my wrists unfortunately, but I don't really care. Bodice is definitely short, it's nearly a babydoll style but I can move it a little bit thanks to the waist ties.

Logo Ribbon Sailor Series OP by Lief
Bodice is super short, this definitely appears to be a babydoll style on me. The skirt length is great though, extra long. I also bought the beret but it's too small to wear with a wig on and the ribbon on that is navy while all the other ribbons are black. Fabric is lightweight, it's shirred in the back, also great construction. Sorry for the striped tights in advance, I just really like how the brand styled it.
