Get the Look for Less

David Tate - Fortune (Black Red) - FootwearStuart Weitzman - Stringalong (Red Degrade Patent) - Footwear
We love patent leather flats and especially with this "ombre" look. We found two similar looks. Both shoes are patent leather with a bow. The less expensive shoe is available to size 13 and costs $38. The expensive designer shoe is available to size 12 and is also on sale, but costs $156.92. Click on the one you think is the designer shoe. Can you tell the difference? Don't pay more, when you can get it for less!

Tall Plus Size Designer Outfit

I get emails all the time from tall, plus size women wondering why they can't find any clothing that fits. I understand that it is harder to find tall plus size clothing, but it is out there. You need to be more open to trying different types as clothing as normally it will not be labeled as "tall, plus size". Look at the labels and read the lengths and descriptions and you will be suprised as the options that exist.
Another tip I can give you is that if you find a tall, plus size clothing item, don't wait to make your purchase. Most often it will sell out before it goes on sale. Sorry, but that's the reality as your size is made in limited quanities and gets scooped up fast.
With that said, today I would like to feature a tall plus size designer outfit.

Long Tunics are Still Hot!

Long tunics are still hot this season and are a great option for tall women. Tunics look terrific over tall leggings and skinny jeans. Whether you wear a traditional tunic or a tunic dress, either one is fine and allows you to extend your wardrobe choices when you can't find a "tall size shirt." We have just added quite a few more long tunics to Tall Clothing Mall from a variety of online stores.

Self Esteem Books for Tall People

Many tall people at one point or another in their life have suffered from some sort of self-esteem issues. I know as a tall girl, grade school and Jr. high were particularly difficult. One day in 6th grade a visitor came into the classroom. With my back turned toward him, he thought I was the teacher. I also received daily taunts from "short boys". As I look back on it, the taunting was because the short boys were just as insecure about their height as I was about mine. Today I came across some books at Amazon.com that may help with self-esteem issues for tall people including children and adults.

Standing Tall: A Memoir of Tragedy and Triumph

Don't Let The Lipstick Fool You: The Making of a Champion


Michelle Obama: First Lady of Hope
We also have links to some Ebooks for Tall Women on how to dress for your particular figure. When I sign off of my monthly newsletters I always say, "Thanks, and remember to stand tall." What does this mean to me? Not only does it mean to stand up straight and be proud of who you are, but it also has another meaning. Take a stand, a conviction, be proud of who you are and what you believe in. This is the deeper meaning I feel when I say, "remember to stand tall."

Custom Made Jeans Review

The following review is from a Jheri in Denmark, a 6'3" tall woman.

Being tall and thin I can't find jeans that fit off the rack. I live in København, Denmark and usually buy the longest jeans I can find and then go to a good tailor to make them really fit. About two years ago someone told me about makeyourownjeans.com. Their business model is to give you many choices and (hopefully) use enough measurements to get a very good fit.

The choices are almost bewildering. You'll find something, but it would be nice to have fabric samples to get a better idea of what you are dealing with. You select gender, the fit, and give measurements - waist, seat, thighs, knee, inseam, outer length, front rise, and back rise. You tell them if you want stretch fitting or not. There is a comment section for special instructions. If you feel these measurements can describe you pretty well, you will probably get a good fit. A friend of mine with an extremely hour glass shaped body told them about this in the special instructions but the finished pair were not good.

My feeling is that thin and average tall women should be ok. Photos show you how to take the measurements. I find it very difficult to do this by myself and have a friend help. It is even better if you go to a good tailor. Being off a little can make a big difference, so work on getting it right! The first time I ordered they would not accept payment from my country so I had to go through a friend's account. The information goes off to India and the finished jeans are air freighted back to you.

My first pair took seven weeks and my second pair took about a month. Waiting seven weeks is very difficult. My first pair of custom made jeansfit about the same as the best rack jeans I can find and the quality of material and construction was good. I had some special instructions that they ignored and, getting in touch with them, they said that they really only pay attention to the basic measurements. My friend with the hour glass body heard the same thing when she wrote back to them. I adjusted some measurements a bit for the second pair and the fit was even better. It wasn't perfect, but good enough that I was happy. I'm almost 6'3 and have a 37" barefoot inseam. The first pair were 37" inseams and the second were about 40" for some heels. I can find 37" inseams and get them looking good with tailoring, but not 40" inseams, so I was happy. The price is low by Danish standards even with the shipping, so I will probably try again. My curvy friend was not happy. Neither of us liked their customer service. I would recommend buying a test pair to see how it works rather than several pairs all at once. It think it is important to see how many measurements are used and decide if that is enough to describe you.

Thanks Jheri for your in depth review of makeyourownjeans.com .

On a side note, I also ordered a pair of custom made jeans from them as I wanted a pair of tall white jeans and couldn't find what I wanted. I thought they turned out pretty well. I did hate waiting about 6 weeks to receive them, but overall it was worth the money. Visit Tall Clothing Mall for more choices in custom made jeans.

Long Shorts for Long Legs

A store to find quality long shorts is Great Lengths. They carry women's long length shorts, men's long shorts and women's long maternity shorts. One problem that I can see is that they don't have long rise, just longer length. I have ordered from them in the past and am happy with my shorts.
