Are you a tall woman that’s tired of never finding clothes that fit properly?

emilythinkingYou don’t have to resort to the men’s department!

 Are you sick of buying pants that are always a bit too short and cut off at the ankle or look like high waters? Do your shirts shrink in the wash and never seem to fully cover your torso? 

I know how frustrating it is. Being nearly 6′ tall myself, I’ve struggled the majority of my life to find clothes that fit me. It is hard to find jeans and pants in regular shops that fit my long legs–and let me not even start on trying to find pajamas, yoga pants, shirts that hit me at my hips , or sleeves that fit me like they are supposed to.

 But what defines tall?


 Here are some stats on women’s height:

  • the average women in the United States is approximately 5’4
  • 5% of women are taller than 5’8
  • only 0.7% of females are 5’11 or taller*

That being said, most retailers size their clothing to best fit women between 5’4 and 5’7.


 Since all women do not fit that range, they offer petite (under 5’4) and tall (generally over 5’8) sizing.

However, it’s surprisingly not so easy to find retailers that sell tall women’s clothing! While a lot of department stores do have petite sections, good luck finding them to carry specialty tall sections (and I mean actual tall sections–not just “long” length jeans) which are great for women with longer legs, but not always quite long enough for the really tall ladies out there! (5’11+)

You can still find really cute, trendy clothing as a tall girl!


 But, it’s okay girls. I promise you can still find really cute, trendy and classic clothes that will fit and look great on you. You don’t have to resort to the men’s department any longer–this website is here to help! 

The internet is your best friend when shopping for clothes as a taller women.


 Don’t be afraid to look online as you will find a great selection of clothes for all types of women from juniors to plus size!

Being tall is nothing to be ashamed of, it makes you unique! You will feel much more comfortable and confident with yourself when you are wearing clothes that fit and flatter your body.

    Found you looking for tall yoga pants. Locating tops with some length would be real helpful.

    I’m looking for shoes. I wear an 11.5, but my feet are slim. I also have foot problems that require good arch support. I can get sandals from OrthoHeel, but not closed leather shoes. Any suggestions??

      Hey, have you looked at this post? It may give some suggestions for shoes. Many of them let you search with filters like width and arch support.

Meet Wendy

Hey there, my name is Wendy. At nearly 6′, I’ve always been one of the tallest girls I know. Believe me, I know how frustrating it is trying to find clothing that actually fits! It has been and still continues to be sort of a struggle for me. I’ve come online to share my experiences and help my fellow tall girls! :)
