I’m 5ft 10 & a size 18 – River Island never fails to surprise me… their maxi dress is the perfect length for me

IT can be quite a challenge to find a maxi dress that’s the right length when you’re 5ft 10.

But one woman claims to have found the perfect one – in River Island.

Jess King took to TikTok to rave about this orange maxi dress, which is from River IslandTikTok/@jesselleking

Jess King took to her TikTok page to share her haul from the store, which included the £45 orange maxi dress from the shop’s Tall range.

“@riverisland never fails to surprise me tbh,” she captioned her video.

She began the haul with a look at a cute cutout colourful dress, before changing into a khaki top and a pair of denim shorts.

“I have found with River Island denim that you have to give it a bit of a chance to loosen out,” she said.

“So I am going to keep these because I know that they will fit very well, very soon.”

Next up, Jess tried on a black and white floral dress which had fluted sleeves – perfect for anyone who is “insecure about their arms” – as well as a printed playsuit.

But it was the maxi dress that was the biggest hit in the haul.

“I absolutely love this,” Jess said as she showed off the orange tiered maxi dress.

“It’s got a shirred bust so it’s elasticated all the way round which makes it really comfortable.
