    Major mullet

    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.

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.

these r all ugly

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)

I wish I was tall...I'm 13 and only 5' 3".....even the 6th graders at my school are taller than me....

by metrostation3xx on 12/7/2011 12:33:17 AM

 
 

These are all REALLY ugly, except for the last one... in fact, it's slightly insulting... So pear/apple/petite shaped girls get cute stuff, and I get to dress like a bag lady? Thanks.

by Colierox on 12/6/2011 3:50:26 PM

 
 

I only like the last one and i probably wouldn't buy it since my rule is unless you love it don't waste your money! I'll still use the tips but not the dresses

by SmileyGal7 on 12/6/2011 6:58:02 AM

 
 

I don't mind these, but I'm not tall. :/

by indesicive1 on 12/5/2011 8:54:53 PM

by Susmita24 on 12/5/2011 8:44:08 PM

 
 

I would go with that black long length dress!!!!But i gotta a blue one at home!!!!luv it!!!!!!!!!

by Susmita24 on 12/5/2011 8:43:08 PM

 
 

I'm like 5'6 and 13 yrs old and sorry GL but I really don't like these.......

by Girlygirl22werock on 12/5/2011 6:12:38 PM

 
 

These are disgusting except KIND OF the black lace dress but I would only wear that to a party which I would never get invited to so yeah. This was stupid. I'm only like 5'8 and a half so I wouldn't call that supermodel. I would call that not tall enough to say I am tall and awkward becuase I am still taller than the guys so it sucks. Now my friend on the other hand has flawless skin, extremely blonde hair and pretty hair and the prettiest eyes and she is almost 5'11. Plus she has an amazing body. She could qualify as a supermodel. Me not so much. Jealous much? Yes, very.

by topchef88 on 12/5/2011 5:59:04 PM

 
 

EWWW! All of them are ugly except the last one!
