Tall Personal Shopping: Tall Homecoming Dresses

I received a frantic email from a mother trying to help her daughter find a tall homecoming dress.  We all know that it’s super important to fit in during the high school years and finding special occasion dresses in tall sizes are next to impossible in the regular malls. Thankfully, I’m here to help.  This 6’1″ tall teen is 16 years old and would prefer a shorter type homecoming dress.  She has an athletic build and is fairly busty.

My recommendations are wearing something with some type of straps to keep the chest area under wrap.  Staples dresses may make you feel a little insecure about keeping everything in place (if you know what I mean).  I also think you may enjoy a shape with a little flare on the lower half to balance out the bigger upper body.

I have a round-up of many different types of tall homecoming dresses as there may be others out there looking for the same thing.  You may want to purchase several styles to see which one works the best and return the ones that you don’t like.  Be sure and check the return policies and allow enough time for shipping.

A steal at $25.  Add some crystal jewelry and shiny shoes to jazz it up.
Also in black or blue.

If all else fails, you can always wear a classic little black dress.

Which one do you recommend she purchase?  Leave a comment below.
