Perfect for tall, curvy women! A complete guide to choosing tall size dresses
The appeal of tall size dresses
What is a tall size dress?
Tall size dresses are dresses designed for tall women. Unlike regular dresses, the sleeve length, skirt length, and waist position are designed to fit taller bodies. This eliminates the problems of standard size dresses being too short or having a silhouette that feels restrictive. In particular, for those over 165cm tall, the "just right size" makes them look more flattering.
Common problems tall women have when choosing a dress
Tall women have many common concerns when choosing a dress. For example, "the length is too short and it feels uncomfortable," "the waist is not right and it makes the figure look awkward," or "the sleeves are not long enough and it doesn't look neat." Furthermore, if they choose a larger size, the silhouette can be ruined or, conversely, it can look oversized. These concerns are often difficult to resolve with regular dresses.
The benefits of choosing the tall size
The biggest benefit of choosing a tall-size dress is that you can find one that fits your body perfectly. The waist position and length are designed appropriately, so even tall women look balanced and elegant. In particular, it is designed to make your legs look longer, so you can expect a slimming effect. In addition, details such as sleeve length and shoulder width provide a comfortable fit, so you won't feel constricted even if you wear it all day. This makes it appealing, as you can fully enjoy creating your own unique style.
The best part of wearing a dress for tall people
The best thing about dresses for tall women is that they make the most of the beauty of their silhouette. Taking advantage of your height, wearing a long or flared dress can create a stylish impression, like a model. You can also expand the range of your outfits by layering and combining them with accessories. For example, a figure-flattering design like Taberunosky, which is available in tall sizes, can create a relaxed yet elegant look.
Tips for choosing a tall size dress
For tall people, the length of a dress is a very important point. Dresses in standard sizes can often feel unintentionally short or unbalanced. Therefore, by choosing a tall-size dress that comes in larger sizes, you can maintain your ideal length, such as below the knee or maxi length. For example, an item like a "ruffled houndstooth long-sleeved long dress" is recommended as it provides a moderate length and a neat silhouette for tall women.
Easily style up your silhouette
The silhouette of a dress can have a big impact on the overall impression of your style. For taller people, choosing an X-line or A-line dress will enhance your figure while accentuating your feminine silhouette. A design with a cinched waist, like the "Flower Jacquard Mini Dress," can also have a slimming effect. Another attractive feature is the design, which takes into account the balance unique to tall sizes, which prevents any shifts in length or line, creating a beautiful silhouette.
Focus on materials and comfort
Comfort is also essential when choosing a dress. Tall people in particular can relax and enjoy themselves by choosing a relaxed material and design that suits their body type. For example, the "Big Sister's Blurred Print Ribbon Tie Long Dress" features a smooth material and a relaxed fit, making it an item that won't tire you out even when worn for long periods of time. Stretchable materials are also recommended for those who want ease of movement. Comfort leads to confidence and comfort throughout the day, so don't forget to check the material.
Control the impression with colors and patterns
Choosing colors and patterns is also an important point. To make the most of the stylish look that only tall people have, it is recommended to choose sophisticated designs in single colors or prints that emphasize vertical lines. For example, choosing a plain dress in a muted tone or one with a fine striped pattern will give you an even slimmer impression. On the other hand, if you choose a bold pattern, you can create a casual yet sophisticated look by matching it with accessories and shoes while being mindful of the overall balance.
Recommended styles for tall size dresses
Casual design for everyday use
For tall women, we highly recommend casual dresses that are easy to wear on a daily basis. For example, the "tiered long cami dress" features a ribbon and a loose design that also covers the body, making it perfect for a relaxed style. It can be worn in any season and can be used in a wide range of outfits from spring to winter. With an increasing number of brands offering plus sizes, it is becoming easier to find items that suit you.
The perfect item for formal occasions
For formal occasions, we recommend tall-size dresses with a clean, elegant design. The "Pretty Lace Dress for Adults" is a prime example, featuring a fitted design that creates a slimming effect. Plus sizes are also available, making them especially popular among women in their 30s to 50s. Formal dresses can be worn for a variety of occasions, from business meetings to weddings, as they can be given a sophisticated look simply by adding simple accessories.
Seasonal trend dresses
Tall size dresses can be trendy by changing the material, color, and pattern depending on the season. Bright pastel colors and floral patterns are popular in spring, while light designs made from linen or cotton are popular in summer. Meanwhile, thicker materials and muted color tones are popular in autumn and winter. The appeal of "long ruffle dresses" is that they can be worn in any season, and coordinating them with outerwear is popular in autumn and winter.
Enhance your charm by pairing it with accessories
Choosing the right accessories is also important to elevate the look of a tall-size dress. Pairing a simple dress with a large necklace or earrings will add a touch of glamour. Wearing a belt around your waist can also help enhance your figure. We also recommend incorporating a seasonal scarf or bag. If you are tall, be mindful of the size of your accessories, and even if you choose a bold design, it will still look balanced and easy to try.
Shops and size options to look out for when purchasing
Angel size is recommended for tall people
Angel Size offers a wide selection of images of items worn by different heights. They also have a wide selection of dresses and coats designed specifically for tall women. Many of their designs are specifically tailored to fit the length, allowing you to choose the length that best suits you. For example, products like the "Long Tartan Check Coat for Tall Women Over 170cm" and the "Ruffled Houndstooth Long Sleeve Long Dress" are designed with tall women's heights in mind, bringing out their charm. With a wide variety of options, from affordable to luxury, it's important to find the right product for you.
How to properly interpret size labels
Correctly understanding dress size labels is essential for successful shopping for tall women. Sizing can vary even within a single brand, so be sure to check the size guide. Length and sleeve length are especially important for women over 165cm tall. For example, by comparing the measurements for each size listed in the product description, such as "Long tartan plaid coat for tall women over 170cm," you can determine the best fit for your body type. The recommended length for people over 170cm is a "long dress"
Recommended length for tall, chubby people
- Long dress (over 125cm)
- Mini dress "90-96cm"
- Long coat "Over 130cm"
If you purchase with this in mind, you will have a much higher chance of finding a length that you are satisfied with.
Choose a shop that allows returns and exchanges
It's reassuring to choose a shop that allows returns or exchanges in case the size or design is not what you expected after purchase. Tall women in particular often find themselves experimenting with choosing larger sizes, so a shop with a flexible return policy is ideal. In some cases, Angel Size allows returns if the return policy conditions are met. If you're unsure about which brand or size to buy for the first time, prioritizing a store that allows returns will help you avoid mistakes.
How to care for tall size dresses to keep them in good condition for a long time
Basics of post-purchase maintenance
To keep tall-size dresses beautiful, proper care immediately after purchase is important. Some dresses may have protective treatments remaining in the fabric, so we recommend lightly washing them before wearing. Also, check the care instructions on the tag and choose the appropriate washing method. The silhouette is particularly important for plus-size dresses for tall people, so it's important to use a hanger to prevent wrinkles when storing them.
Care instructions for each material
You can extend the life of your dress by changing the care method depending on the material. For example, we recommend gently hand-washing a jacquard dress or placing it in a laundry net and washing it in the washing machine on the delicate cycle. On the other hand, delicate materials such as wool and linen are best dry-cleaned. The higher the quality of the dress, the more care is required that takes into account the characteristics of the material, so it is important to read the product instructions carefully.
How to wash to prevent deformation
Tall-size dresses, designed for tall women, are attractive for their length and fit. Therefore, it's important to wash them carefully to prevent them from losing their shape. First, fold the dress and place it in a laundry net to reduce friction. Another tip is to wash it on a gentle setting to prevent it from spinning too hard in the washing machine. After washing, remove the dress immediately, adjust the silhouette, and hang it on a hanger in the shade to prevent it from losing its shape.
Off-season management
By storing your dresses properly each season, you can keep them looking good the next season. Larger-sized dresses have a lot of fabric, and if they are compressed during storage, they can become wrinkled and damaged. It's a good idea to leave plenty of space and use a nonwoven fabric cover. You can also prevent deterioration of the fabric by using insect repellent and desiccants. Proper care during the off-season will allow you to enjoy tall-size dresses for tall women for a long time.
