From Jheri- regarding Ginormica
"I was very shy in school being too tall, too thin, too pale and too hard of hearing. I used it as an excuse to go into my own shell and felt sorry for myself. The fact that I was the tallest in my family by the time I was 12 didn't help much. But I did improve and by the time I was 20 or so, I found that I was proud of what I looked like and my height."
"When I run into a teenager who is tall I tell them to get involved in some activity in school. It can be anything, but something where others will recognize and value their efforts. It gives them a better sense of value."
Thanks Jheri for your great suggestions and words of wisdom.

Judy suggested a few tall stores:
"Like your site - very informative. Looking forward to exploring it further. I would like to tell you about my favorite store (I didnt see it on your site yet - you should really get it on) it is called Long Legs Fashions For Tall Women www.longlegs.ca . I have bought so much stuff from them and the shipping and customer service is wonderful. The quality of the garments exceeded my expectations. You should look into them and www.simplytall.net. I have purchased a few things from them too that i have been happy with. I'll let you know if i think of any more things that are good for the tall woman."
Thanks Judy!

What do you think of "Ginormica"?

I went to see the movie "Monsters vs. Aliens". Overall I thought it was pretty cute. For those who haven't seen it, the premise is that Susan is hit by a meteor and is transformed into a giant woman called "Ginormica". At first she detests her height, but then learns to tolerate it and then finally she grows to love it!
I think it's a pretty good message for us tall women as most of us have gone through the same cycle. When I was a jr. high age, I hated being taller than everyone. In high school I learned to tolerate it and began to feel comfortable in my own skin. Now it seems the older I get, the less I care what people think about me. I have embraced my height by creating Tall Clothing Mall and I hope to inspire other tall teens and tall women to make the best of the assets they have inherited! If you have seen the movie, what did you think of Ginormica?

Enter to Win a Denim Skirt

I recently came across Style J Skirts as a reader to this blog recommended them to me. Actually it was perfect timing as I was looking for a longer length denim skirt. I placed my order and was surprised as how fast I received it (just 2 days).

I ordered this long denim skirt.

Although they offer tall denim skirts (a great option for us tall women), I found the measurements long enough on this regular size. I didn't want my skirt dragging the ground and found the length for be about 3 inches above my ankles. Perfect! The picture doesn't do the detail on this skirt justice. The back has cute heart grommets on the sides of the pockets. I like the slight A frame as it is figure flattering.

If you would like to win a denim skirt from Style J skirts, just post a comment below this post. On May 29th, I will randomly choose one comment to receive the style of skirt you choose in the size you want!

Hotel Rooms for Tall People

I have never thought about searching for hotel rooms for tall people as most beds are made long enough for me. However, this could be an uncomfortable problem for extra tall people. I have heard of some people pulling up a chest or table at the end of the bed to accommodate long legs that are hanging off of the bed. What a pain!

I was looking through a blog called, "Tales of a Tall Girl" and noticed that she had a link to Kimpton Hotels. They have specially made 96 inch long beds made for tall travelers. You have to ask for "a tall room" when making your reservation. View more info and cities that have hotel rooms for tall people.

Maternity Clothes for Tall Women

Maternity clothes for tall women take a bit more time to find, but with some persistance they can be found. Your best option is to dress in separates. Avoid one piece dresses or jumpers as they will rarely fit you correctly. If you are due to have your baby in the Summer, you have more options. Think about wearing cropped pants, shorts and skirts.
Today I have put together a casual and comfy outfit for you tall mommys to be.



Start off with this Long Denim Maternity Skirt with mid-belly coverage in a full length.

Next pick up your favorite color of Be Bands Maternity Bands. They are a stretchy fabric that you wear over your tummy. This is the best invention for tall girls, as it covers that area on your belly when you can't find a long enough maternity shirt. This extends your wardrobe options greatly as it looks like a maternity t-shirt. Also, if you are newly pregnant it allows you keep wearing your regular jeans for a while. Just undue the button and then place this maternity band over it.

Maternity tunics will be your longest options for shirts. Don't feel like you are wearing a tent, as they know come in various fitted styles in great fabrics.

Visit Tall Clothing Mall for more maternity clothes for tall women.
