As I type this, my wrists are sticking out of the sleeve of my long-sleeve shirt. I hate it when that happens. The only thing worse is high-waters - I've been a victim of that too. I say victim because the fashion industry punishes those who are not of the "general" body type
I'm 5'6 (considered tall in some parts) and also a size 4 with incredibly long limbs. The standard size 4s do not work with me. Here's a list of the retailers that actually stock clothing for tall women
- JC Penney - Sizing starts at 8T
- Land's End and Eddie Bauer have tall sizes but not my style
- JCrew and Banana Republic also have tall sizes but not in my preferred price range
- Old Navy has tall small sizes but I'm not a fan of their quality
So who wins?
Best Pants for tall skinny women - Express fashion for formal pants and jeans. Delias for the more youthful look
Best Maternity wear for tall skinny women - Gap Maternity
Best Tops and Dresses for tall skinny women???? - I'm still looking for the golden fleece on this one
