If you’re a tall woman, you already know what it feels like to live in a world that wasn’t made for your body.
Finding a couch that supports your legs is hard. Airplane seats? Forget it. And when it comes to sleepwear—especially nightgowns —everything feels like a compromise.
You shop around, looking for a nightgown that’s soft, elegant, and long enough to actually cover you. But what you find are styles that are either too short, too tight in the shoulders, or simply not made for anyone over 5’9”. You size up, and suddenly the fit is sloppy. Or worse, there’s no size available at all.
Why is that considered normal?
“I gave up on real nightgowns. I just sleep in oversized t-shirts now.”
That’s something we hear all the time—from tall women who are tired of looking and settling.
Online forums are full of women sharing the same frustration:
- “Even XL hits above the knees.”
- “Anything long enough is way too loose.”
- “It’s like no one actually designs for tall women.”
The truth is, most brands don’t. They design for averages—and if you fall outside that limited range, you’re left with nothing that really works. Especially when it comes to loungewear.
But that’s starting to change.
ELLESILK: Because Tall Women Deserve Better
At ELLESILK, we don’t believe in forcing women into standard sizes.
We create made-to-fit silk nightgowns and loungewear—and yes, we make it custom, for real bodies.
Not long ago, a woman came to us who was 2 meters tall (that’s about 6’7″). She wanted a silk nightgown that actually fit—not just in length, but in every measurement.
She needed a 175 cm long gown with a 125 cm bust, 120 cm waist, and 120 cm hips. She’d looked everywhere, tried everything, and couldn’t find anything that even came close.
So we made it for her.
The result? A nightgown that fit her beautifully—no tugging, no bunching, no awkward gaps. Just smooth, breathable silk designed for her.
She told us it was the first time in years she didn’t feel like she had to “make it work.” It just worked.
Your Body Isn’t the Problem—The Standard Is
You shouldn’t have to choose between “almost fits” and “looks awful.”
You shouldn’t have to shop in the men’s section or settle for gym clothes just to feel covered at home.
Your height, your shape, your proportions—they’re not the issue. The real problem is that most clothing brands don’t take them seriously.
At ELLESILK, we do. Because comfort should fit you, not the other way around.
Nightgowns Should Feel Like Home
We believe loungewear is the one category of clothing that should feel effortless. It’s what you put on when the world is off your shoulders. And it should fit you—your real body—with no adjustments, no apologies.
If you’ve ever struggled to find a nightgown that actually fits—not just sort of fits—know this:
It’s not you.
It’s the industry.
And at ELLESILK, we’re doing something about it.
