Heading to the races? It’s the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a new outfit, get dressed up to the nines, and bet your wages on the horse with the best name.
There are some tips that taller women can use to help them feel confident and comfortable when wearing dresses and heels, such as opting for lower or block heels for ultimate comfort, and choosing dresses with longer hemlines to provide more coverage. Ultimately, all women should be able to wear what they feel comfortable and confident in.
Here at Long Tall Sally, we are all about embracing your height and ensuring a flattering fit for taller women. We’ve put together a guide of different ladies’ race day dresses and outfit ideas that you can relax in and feel your best in UK sizes 8-28.
