I’m back! Big thanks for Caitlin taking care of our blog so I could have a maternity leave. This “job” is much easier to come back to, compared to my corporate one. It’s also more exciting to return when we have so many great companies to share with you. Today is no exception, we are thrilled to introduce you to custom tall clothing with Verity the Brand! One of the coolest parts of social media is the ability to be a connector to new and upcoming brands. Carly has been working on Verity the Brand for some time now and watching the behind-the-scenes preparations for their launch only encouraged our enthusiasm for this new tall brand.
Verity the Brand Details
So what sets Verity the Brand apart? For one, they are slow fashion. This means that your specific order doesn’t exist until you actually place the order. You might be wondering what the advantage of this is. First, it doesn’t create waste because there won’t be any excess products laying around. Secondly, the beauty of this allows you to customize the items of clothing to your specific length. I don’t know about you, but that just gets me pumped up as someone accustomed to tugging clothing to cover extra length.
Furthermore, it allowed me to try my first mini dress in YEARS. Yes, the idea of a mini dress makes me shudder. Especially considering how many times I’ve tried ordering a “tall” mini dress only to find my lady parts one arm raise away from being on display. Plus, it’s practically impossible for tall brands to make a standard-length mini dress when you’re covering a range of like 7-8 inches of height difference. I understand their plight, but it doesn’t help me being on the tall end of that spectrum. Hence my penchant for midi dresses. Much more “room for error” on length differentials.
So full disclosure, we were gifted these items. We’re excited to share how the ordering process works with you. Before we start on shopping for custom tall clothing with Verity the Brand specifically, we want to encourage you to actually find out what your measurements are. It will only improve your shopping experience (as far as retailers measuring their garments accurately). This is where Verity excels. You’re 5’10 and want to show off a lot of leg? Make your dress shorter. You’re 6’4 like me and want to avoid playing peek-a-boo? Add a couple of inches as I did. We’re all in agreement that one size does not fit all!
Stacy Mini Dress
I chose the Stacy mini dress. I love the green print and the shirring plus the romantic sleeves felt like I could have designed it myself. Shirring is super popular for dresses right now and for good reason. It is simultaneously very flattering AND forgiving. So when ordering you have three selections to make for the dress. You have the size, first. Then you can customize your sleeve length from 14-17’ and the dress length from 26-34’. So as referenced above you’ll want to know your measurements preferences. I went with a large, 17-inch sleeve and 34-inch length. It absolutely exceeded my expectations.
Before we switch over to talking about the Emma blouse Caitlin chose, I have to mention the width of the tops. I cannot overstate how much we appreciate blouses that work for our wider shoulders. In both of these pieces, the sleeves hit exactly as they should with zero tugging or pulling. That’s the magic of customization!
Emma Blouse
Onto Caitlin’s lovely Emma blouse. It is the loveliest buttery seersucker print. Honestly the most ideal blouse. You already know the romantic sleeves were a big draw because we’re entirely predictable that way (and we love it). The measurements needed are your size choice, sleeve length both from top of shoulder 27-32’ and under armpit 21-26’, and your top length preference 15-19’. So if you like more of a cropped style or if you want it to your hip, whichever your hearts desire!
Caitlin chose size medium, 29-inch sleeve length, and 17-inch top length. Again a total win as all you get custom tall clothing with Verity the Brand’s pieces. You never have to look at a piece and wonder, “will it fit how I’d like it to?” The number one thing Caitlin and I agree that we constantly search for, are well-fitting tall blouses. Verity the Brand has nailed it and we can only hope Carly will continue to drop both new patterns and styles for us all to snag.
We love Verity the Brand’s ethos which is that tall fashion doesn’t have to be boring. I think there are enough basic options out there and Verity brings the style and fun we’ve been missing in our lives. Carly sources her fabrics from the UK and they are also made in the UK, so you can feel good about shopping with Verity the Brand as well. Lastly, we’re big on both outfit repeating and remixing aka getting a good cost per wear. Verity is made for this and therefore you don’t need to think twice about purchasing because you’re getting pieces you will adore and cherish for years!
Outfit Details/Links
As of right now, the sizing is S-L but she hopes to expand as soon as possible. Carly also designed a beautiful wrap skirt and a linen suit co-ord if either of those appeals more! We all know how quickly tall small businesses can come and go, so please support Verity The Brand if you love what you see. We can’t wait to see what is next in custom tall clothing with Verity the Brand.
