    Major mullet

    Short in the front and long in the back, it’s a totally hot new trend. Play with your hem length—your height lets you pull it off! Go chic and simple in a shirt-style dress or get flirty in a more formal floral print version.

    Floaty florals

    A ruffled hemline adds flirty movement and volume to your straight-up-and-down shape.

    Sweet shift

    Stand tall and proud in a refined shift dress. The straightforward silhouette looks totally fierce with a rockin’ pair of ankle booties.

    Go midi

    Channel 1930’s Coco Chanel with this modest hemline, which hits somewhere between the calves and ankles. This silhouette doesn’t have to be frumpy--add a thin gold belt and cool wedges to give it a dose of edge.

    Mind the maxi

    Maxi dresses lengthen your body to the max! Tall girls look amazing in longer hemlines—you won’t drown in them. If you’re looking for comfort and versatility, opt for a maxi.

    Break up a tall frame with a pretty peplum. It highlights your waist and adds sweet volume.

I am 13 finally and 5ft 7 tall, and I am the only tallest and skinny girl in my middle school, other people are healthy, a lil chubby, skinny but petite, medium size, etc. I am happy to be tall and it's so much fun! Laughing I think when you are tall, you are sporty and when you gotta wear a dress for an occasion, show your tall legs like the blue dress girl! Smile

Ya'll don't complain about your height, you can't change it so embrace it. I'm 6 feet tall and still have 1-2 inches left. Focus on the good things about being tall.

mod! im twelve and im about 5'7" wud i b considered a "tall girl"




Hey girlie,

Totally, babe! "Tall" is a relative word (meaning, you wouldn't seem tall to someone who is 5'10" but if someone is 5'2", they'd think you were pretty tall), so it's always a little tough to decide just how tall you have to be... but I think you could absolutely use these tips! Smile

Umm hello to all of you complaining about being tall don't. I am fourteen and 5'9, I just began modeling and the people from Abercrombie are in love with my height already. Tall people are usually more noticed and thats great(if your not to shy lol)
