I was very happy to discover your site today. You offer very helpful advice. Thank you.
I happened upon these comments from tall women and would like to share my experience.
I’m 6’1 (1m86) and I live in France. Now THAT’S a clothing challenge because the average French woman is something like 5’5″!
I have hunted high and low over the years and have compiled a list of shops that specialize in clothing for tall women. Here are some of the places that help me stay fashionable:
1. Sumissura: made-to-measure and relatively inexpensive!!! ❤️

I am 185cm, 6ft, I am a UK size 14, a triangle and very very long legged. I have had many of my pants made as I cannot buy long pants in the shops.. I can usually find pencial skirts long enough but not dresses. Because of my long legs and arms I find that I look best in pants that finish between my calf and ankle especially if they are patterned. I wear fitted clothing (tops and skirts and some dresses) which looks great but cannot find jackets long enough to wear with pants – too much leg and out of proportion. So my style is classic, feminine and dramatic and I love to wear wide leg pants, long flowy tops (break the guide of vol over vol), leggings and tunic tops, sleeves that are not too tight, long tops over Capri (7/8 for most but Capri for me). I have a long neck and face and so wear my hair to my shoulder and it is fairly curly so that softens my look. I do wear heels but only if I am doing corporate work, otherwise it is flats. I am a size 11 so find shoes a challenge to buy as they generally only go to a 10 in the shops. There are not a lot of great tall role models in the general public and so it is a treat to see a tall woman who has dressed appropriately for her height.

The biggest challange is to find a sexy heels that are not more than 3.5 inch!

Hi Morena. That depends on where your weight has settled. Start by determining your body type (https://40plusstyle.com/how-to-determine-body-shape/) and then follow the directions for that type.

But I’ve recently put on about 20 extra lbs. and find my old clothes draw attention to my weight. Any tips?

The pockets are better in size for my size 14-16 rear end. A problem I also have is that many empire waist tops, are not only too short, but the straps are not long enough. the bust portion sits too high. tunics that are not long enough are also a problem. I live in a rural area, without the tall shops of a big city.

My opinion is that it’s better to “use” the length. But when I was a teenager, I cried myself to sleep and fantasized about saw off my legs.

Yes, better make sure that you buy something now that it’s in fashion. It may all be gone next year…
