She was rocking the burgundy dress! Thank you for the tall tips. 5'11" here with 34 inch inseam but a long torso. I appreciate the tips because tall gals tend to get left out! Lol.

My problem too but I will never be persuaded to wear trousers as a “crop length”. It just makes tall ladies look untidy and that we have outgrown our clothes. Next is good and I also learnt to sew at a very young age in order to make my own at the right length. Some lovely ideas here.

[julieme]

I'd wear dresses all the time if I was Leone. She looked stunning in the burgundy.

Thank you for styling a woman of my height; it's important to be inclusive of body shapes and heights. It's a misnomer that tall women can slip anything on, and it'll look good. Your styling tips were very helpful. Please consider seasonal styling for tall women too. It helps to see someone who has the same type of styling concerns. It'd be cool if you could bring Leone or another tall woman back for seasonal styling.

As a 185 cm (6'1) tall woman I can easily say it's a real struggle to find long enough sleeves and trousers.
I often go to the male side to buy pants as they can get the long legs without the behind of an elephant (according to the fashion industry women don't get taller than 170 cm, after that height we only get wider).

Thank you! I’ve been waiting on the hourglass shape, but added bonus for a tall woman. I’m 5’11 with an hourglass figure and most videos like this never showcase tall women. I got so many great tips. ❤️ edit: Long Tall Sally has up to 38” inseam

[amberdoran]

Yes! This is a shape and height that is rarely featured! Please do a casual video as well. At nearly ft, large bust and bottom, the struggle is real.

Finally! Yay! Styling for the tall gal! I’m 6 ft tall, 60 years old, and rectangle. Sleeve length and seams/detail that NEVER hit at the waist are my biggest issues. Oh, and there’s a bit of pooch ( I blame my 4 children). The thing that takes the longest when getting dressed? Tucking in the top—full tuck, 1/2 tuck? LOL.

I’m 5’11 & 3/4” as well, and an hourglass. I’m going back to work in healthcare administration at 60, and looking for business casual but no denim whatsoever, not even chambray. Leona is lovely.

[suzieque]

Thank you so much- 5’11” lady and LOVED THIS VIDEO- so helpful with lots of inspirational outfits- Leonie looks fabtastic in every outfit 🎉💃🙋‍♀️

[trishagoodwin]

This was so helpful for me also, as a 5ft 8 and half in tall hourglass, size 10- 12, depending on brand! I am also 68 and not very dressy, so appreciated how these fairly classic looks, meant for work, could be worn with jeans for casual wear too. Many thanks!

[nancydougherty]

Thank you for showing another 6' person. It was nice to see some of the issues that exist with the long legs. She might try Long Tall Sally's in the UK, but we are a bit short for them. I love the long wide legged trousers and joggers from them.

[cherylfox]

Thank you! Leonie is gorgeous and she looked amazing in everything. This was super helpful for me too, 5ft 8, hourglass and a size 10 so thank you yet again for your fantastic content and all the work you put into your channel 💖 xx
(P.S. loved your twinning! 👌😆)

[susanholl]

Helpful! My daughter graduates uni in June and has landed a great job where she can't just wear jeans every day. Finding clothes for her is a nightmare. She's "only" 5'10", long legs/arms, short torso, UK size 4. Everyone who thinks having a model's body would be great has never actually tried to dress that body.

[Kathy]

At 5’ 11” myself this video was incredibly helpful- thank you. Sharing your thought process of the critical factors to keep in mind when selecting individual pieces and combining them is the instruction that sets your videos apart.

[sallyaustin]

So useful. I am 5’10 3/4’ and it can be a real challenge to find the right length in clothes. Great tips on how to wear shorter styles and get the most out of them - thank you

[joannat]

I’m 5’10” and always struggle with getting pants and shirt sleeves that are long enough. I enjoyed the video and Leone looks fabulous!

[melishamcalister]

Such a well done and informative video. Leone looks fabulous in the red suit and the burgundy dress!.😍 I appreciate the addition of the sizes in the description box and found it even more helpful that you included her body measurements. Two suggestions for future videos: include your body measurements in the description box and please consider adding one screen shot showing all the outfits toward the end, so viewers won't need to scroll through the entire video to shop their favorite looks. Thanks so much! Have a lovely Valentine's Day!

[karenshannon]

Great idea to do the twinning to see how the same clothes work on different shapes and sizes! Xx

[patriciasandoval]

Yes, yes, yes, very useful! Thanks! I am a petite hour glass shape with some around my waist/abdomen (55 yo, menopause, etc) but, this video has awesome ideas. Also, I was hesitant about my shape because when I thought about "hour glass shape" immediately Marilyn Monroe came to my mind with big bust and bottom 😅 but now I realized that not always is that way. Thanks again!!!
