Elle Macpherson is a tall lady who knows who to dress

Still looking for that perfect party dress? Panicking about what to wear over the Christmas period? Well we've found the perfect outfit for you, no matter what body shape you are.

FemaleFirst is on a mission to get everybody looking fantastic this Christmas, whatever shape you are. Today we'll be dressing the taller ladies out there.

First things first, if you are above 5ft 8, it is important to make sure you buy clothes from speciality tall sections in shops. Most high street shops do these and it means that the clothes will fit you better and therefore look better on.

Tall ladies like Elle Macpherson and Jodie Kidd, are lucky in that they can pull off most looks and their height balances out any lumps or bumps that you may have.

Mixing dark and brights colours work well when wearing a skirt and top combination but when it comes to block dresses one block colour is your best option.

This season's trend for asymmetric, one shoulder outfits works great on slender tall ladies.

When it comes to accessorising, delicate jewellery can get lost on a tall figure so go for something chunky.

This Purple asymmetric Lipsy dress, £38.30 is perfect, team it with this oversized clutch, £20 from Warehouse and embrace your height in these killer heels, £14 from Matalan.
