High Jump, The Peak
Thank you for that visual. Short in the crotch would have sufficed. Sorry for the lack of sympathy. "Poor me, I have such long legs", sounds more like a cry for attention than a cry for help. As I see it, there are three routes to take. First, some famous brands offer tall sizing. Topshop only carries its "normal" and "petite" ranges in Hong Kong. You can order its "tall" pieces online, including the black tall wrap-front jumpsuit (HK$287; topshop.com), or the tall bandeau plunge jumpsuit in red (HK$574). At the first sign of an even-toed ungulate, you can always return it. The Asos.com "tall" section has 35 styles priced from HK$125 to HK$724. Second, find a tall women's brand, such as Long Tall Sally, which caters to women who are five foot eight and taller. Try the black V-neck, wide-leg jumpsuit with sheer panel at the top (HK$1,150; longtallsally.com), the black and wine-red lace bodice style (HK$276) and the black sleeveless V-neck jumpsuit (HK$574). And the third and final option: ask a Hong Kong tailor to make one for you. Just remember to be specific about the crotch, not just the inseam measurement. Don't be alarmed, but that's usually determined by measuring from your waist at the front, down between your legs, and around to your waist at the back.
