Heating Up in Tall Rompers

Rompers are a sore subject with tall women, amirite?! We just want to rock these one-piece wonders like everyone else, without a cameltoe or our buttcheeks hanging out everywhere. Amalli Talli shows up as a champion for us yet again! It’s like they’re reading our minds. Last year they came up with the best sleeveless romper, see the blue Laguna romper here (if you’re lucky enough to be shopping for a size XS this one’s for you). This year we were really hoping for a sleeved version, and to no one’s surprise, our dream came true with the Seychelles Romper!

You might be wondering if the fit could work on both 5’11 and 6’4. Amalli Talli nailed it by having the elastic waistband. It creates the blousing effect that you can either pull up to sit at your natural waist or it can stretch long and lay flatter for extra length. No tugging down as you go either, which is sometimes the effect when you force a romper to work on your length. Plus the waistband serves a double purpose. It both flatters and draws attention to your waistline while also still smoothing that area because of the way the fabric skims.

The fabric has a terry cloth feel to it and does have some stretch. It is made a bit more casual by the barely discernible white flecking in the fabric. The fabric is lightweight but still thick enough to not feel flimsy! The bottom line, we’d still be confident wearing it out to dinner but also rocking it as a coverup on our way down to the beach/pool. The leg holes are cut generously which has been a dealbreaker for us. If it sticks to our thighs, it’s not sticking in our closets! Think of a culotte type cut that won’t hug close to your butt or thighs but skim over both.

Another detail is; although it has sleeves it doesn’t have the “feel” of a sleeve. They are a fluttery style that falls directly over your arms because it’s cut to correctly fit your shoulders. That is also an underrated part to note. We are typically concerned with our shoulders fitting into clothing as well as arms sometimes. This is ideal for anyone who might also struggle. It flatters your arms by not squeezing but instead laying gently.

As for the neckline, we know v necks are one of the most widely flattering! Not to mention it helps out any nursing moms for easier access. Some other rompers we have bought in the past have been very difficult to finagle your way in/out. We’re happy to report we can shimmy in and out with no issues, so you can too! You can wear a cami underneath if you’d like to feel more covered up or if you want to pin it so it stays closed that’s an option. 

For sizing, I’m wearing in a medium, and Caitlin went with the large. The Seychelles romper is a clear winner, and I think we speak for tall women everywhere when we say the only improvement could be more colors! Don’t forget this is the last week for 15% off your purchase using THEREALTALL15.
