Tall Personal Shopping: Tall Dresses for an Active Mature Lady

noreply@blogger.com (Krista) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 21:02:00 PST

I received a tall personal shopping request via Facebook for a 79 year old tall lady looking for size 18T in dresses that she can wear to church. She also commented that she is an active lady. I am so happy to see that we have such a wide range of ages visiting our websites.

Well, I have bad news and good news. First the bad news. There aren't a whole lot of size 18T dresses in stock right now and the ones that I have found aren't very age appropriate for you. The good news is that I have put together some separtes in skirts, jackets and blouses that would work well for you.

Classic Church - the first tall outfit is a conservative suit in a bright blue color. It can be worn to a variety of events from church to weddings.

Worthington Pick Stitch Trim Tall Blazer - JCPenney
Worthington Belted High Waist Tall Skirt - JCPenney
Cambrie Top -Soft Surroundings Outlet - wear it tucked in of course
Ros Hommerson Shoes -Zappos

Mature Moxie is an outfit that starts with a figure flattering skirt that can be worn with a variety of tops and sweaters. Add a gorgeous chiffon, flowy top. Throw on some matching accessories and you've got a mature, yet sophistacted look that will be a classic for years.

Tall Personal Shopping: Long Evening Gown

noreply@blogger.com (Krista) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:37:00 PST

I received a personal shopping request via Facebook for a long evening gown with long sleeves in a small tall. She's like it to not be frumpy. :) I don't have any specific of height or her inseam length. Have a price range would be helpful too.

When submitting personal shopping requests, I need height, inseam lengths and as much info you can give me, such as where you are going to wear the item.

As you already know, finding something to fit your arms and be long enough, is a monumental task. Plus, finding it proportioned correctly for tall bodies are even harder. I don't understand why fashion designers don't give measurements on most items. It drives me batty.

I'm sorry, but you may have to settle for just close enough. Maybe I need to design some long evening gowns and prom dresses! Here are the best options I can find:

ALICE by Temperley Long Opal Dress 60" long

Calvin Klein Collection Savea B Dress in white or black, 62" long

Halston - Asymmetric satin-jersey gown - model is 5'11" tall

Yigal Azrouel Embellished Gown 60" long

ALICE by Temperley Caprice Dress 60" long

Tall Jumpsuits 33" - 34" Inseams

noreply@blogger.com (Krista) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 14:28:00 PST

I received a personal shopper request from Cindy who is looking for a tall jumpsuit. She'd like to wear it to a wedding. She is a size 8 and has a 33"-34" inseam length.

It's been a while since I've done an update on tall jumpsuits, so I have included jumpsuits in casual styles too. Jumpsuits as a whole are continuing to be a hot item this year and into Spring. None of the items below are "tall sized", so if you have a long torso they may not fit quite right. I suggest you purchase a few you love, try them on and return the ones that don't fit well.

Another note - don't shoot the messenger! Some jumpsuits are designer brands and therefore designer priced. I included them to give you as many choices as possible.

You may also be interested in women's extra tall jumpsuits in 35" -40" inseams.

Tall Tuesday Trends: Bright Pants

noreply@blogger.com (Krista) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:11:00 PST

Let There be Bright!

This week’s trend is bright trousers. But as usual, it’s a bit difficult to embrace the trend when you can’t go into any ol’ store and buy off the rack. [sigh]. Lucky for you, we have your back! We’ve gone through scores of online retailers to find this trend in your tall size.

Bright pants are all the rage and let me tell you I’m on board. Sometimes I look at my closet and it’s quite sad to see all the brown, black, and grey. Can you say “blah?” While it’s much easier to find tall size denim, finding tall size pants in anything but the most basic of colors can still be a challenge. But here are a handful that I love. Like L.O.V.E!

I know what you’re thinking—my legs are long enough; do I really want to wear bright coral pants and call attention to them? Well, of course you do! The trick is to treat these pants as a statement piece and go simple with the rest of your outfit. Try a simple white button up, a white tee, an ivory sweater, or a metallic tee or tank. And if you’re afraid of the trend, go easy at first with an ankle length like the blue pair. It’s not quite as in your face and though still a bold color, cobalt blue isn’t as audacious as purple, pink, or coral.

Pictured above:

Purple - Preen Razor Pants 36" Inseam
Coral - Rachel Roy Slim Pants 35" Inseam
Blue - Broken-In Straight Khakis 32" Inseam
Green - Tall Café Capris
Pink - Theyskens' Theory Pax Falm Pants - 35" Inseam
Blue - Kevork Kiledjian Flare Pants 35" Inseam

Women's Tall Pants Product Review: Height Goddess

noreply@blogger.com (Krista) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 06:18:00 PST

For my Thursday Tall Shape up the scale says I've gained 2.6 pound this week. Ugh! I hoped not, but kind of expected it to say that after such a big loss last week. I followed the exact same plan on Weight Watchers and exercised. However, my clothes fit better. I believe I gained some muscle this week and I'm mostly fine with that. I also had a salty dinner last night, so perhaps that could come into play. I don't know. Well, I guess I'm a little disappointed, as I worked really hard. I'll continue to stick with my plan and hopefully next week I'll be rewarded for it. So overall I am down 8.3 lbs.
I made a deal with myself that I would reward myself with clothes when I reached weight loss goals. It's a huge motivator to me! So no rewards this week. :(

As a reward to myself for losing my first 10 lbs, (now 8.3 lbs) I purchased the below pair of Height Goddess - Bethany Wide Leg Cuffed Tall Dress Pants. I've been wanting to try them out for a while. Today I'm going to review them.

I placed my order with Height Goddess and I was surprised to find it arrived around 3 days later. Talk about fast shipping! I couldn't wait to try them. I bought the 35" inseam length. The leg length is long enough that I can wear them with flats or mid-heels.

The fabric is a poly/rayon/spandex. The feel is dressier as well as the look, which is what I was hoping for as I wanted a go-to pair of tall dress pants.

It feels good on and looks great. Overall, I'm quite happy. I think the only critique is that I wish the front pockets were a bit deeper. They are more like a rounded half-pocket and won't really hold anything. I guess that's why we all take a handbag.

I definitely recommend this pair of women's tall pants as a keeper. You will also be able to find them in 37" and 39" inseams in black or in tan.

Tall Winter to Spring Look

noreply@blogger.com (Tiffany) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 13:13:00 PST

I know it’s not Spring yet…but retailers are eager to remind you that it’s just around the corner. As such, one of the MLK day sales featured this adorable yellow and grey striped sweater. The minute I saw it, I knew I’d have to blog about it. I love bright colors. I know most people are a bit scared of them but there’s no better time than the drudgery of Winter or the slushiness of Spring to wear a bright color that will brighten your mood and make you smile. I also love that even though it’s a fairly simple item, it’s a little more interesting than your basic crewneck. You can totally work this outfit as a transitional one. It’s good for Winter (obviously you’d swap out the heels for boots--how about these?!) but also Spring. The old rule? No white after Labor Day. The new rule? There are no rules. Ok I lied- the rule is that as long as the material is seasonally appropriate you’re good to go. (i.e. no white cotton but white denim is ok!). So the materials are definitely appropriate for winter while the bright color palette brings it into spring. This outfit is downright cute. And when paired with skinny white jeans and a bright pump? Yes please.

Tall Personal Shopping: Beach Bound Clothing

noreply@blogger.com (Krista) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:56:00 PST

I received a request via Twitter for a tall women looking for some ideas on what to wear on a beach vacation to Florida. She lives in a cold climate and is thrilled to escape to warmer temperatures. However, she's finding warm weather clothes to be a challenge to find. She also wants a casual dress.

Oh, to be so lucky as to be able to go on a beach vacation! Can I join you? It's really cold here in Colorado.
As I look forward to the Spring styles, nautical clothing is a hot trend. So, without trying too hard, pick up some nautical pieces and you'll be a chic fashionista. Think blue hues, wide stripes, khaki pants, espradilles and beach bags. Have fun with the accessories you choose. It's an easy yet classic trend, so embrace it!

Women's Tall Hiking Clothing

noreply@blogger.com (Krista) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:18:00 PST

We've been featuring women's tall workout clothing all week long during our Tall Fitness Week series. Today we bring you women's tall hiking clothing. Don't you love the feeling when you have climbed to the top of your favorite mountain? If you're ever here in Colorado, you have to check out Hanging Lake in the Glenwood Springs Canyon. It's absolutely stunning! But, it's only open in the Summer. Arrive first thing in the morning because the parking lot fills up quickly. It's a moderate to hard hike, but is so worth it!

Hikers often run the risk of unpredictible weather, so don't forget a jacket. Most hiking clothing is made of durable fabrics that resists moisture. Here are our picks:

High Route Tall Hiking Shirt - Lightweight and dries fast, plus it has an underarm wicking panel for extra comfort and less sweatiness. Eddie Bauer
Malibu Tall Hike Half Zip Shirt - Made of brushed microfiber that pulls moisture away from your skin. - Athleta
Larkspur Tall T-Shirt - made of tissue weight, so it won't add any more heat to your hike. Athleta
Heavenly Tall Henley - stylish, lightweight and comfy. ST-XLT. Athleta
Sahara Convertible Tall Pants - 35" Inseam. They are made of a lightweight nylon that resists water and when the days gets warm, unzip the the zippers on the thighs and turn them into shorts. Sizes 2T-16T in khaki or gray. Note - even though the description lists side slits, this pair is without. Here is another pair of convertible tall hiking pants that zip off to a capri length. - REI
Mistral Tall Trail Pants = 34" Inseam. Made of a water-resistant nylon/polyester/spandex blend that remains windproof to 25 mph. - REI
Pilayo Dipper Tall Pants 34.5" Inseam. These moisture wicking pants are perfect for hiking as they are midwieght, stretchy, breathable and are moisture wicking. Plus they have UPF 50+ protection. Sizes XS - XL
Montaine Tall Pants 35" Inseam. These durable pants are great for all outdoor adventures with high reviews. Lightweight and waterproof with brushed inside. The adjustable cinches at the hem keep the snow out. 4T-16T Athleta.

We hope you've enjoyed our Tall Fitness week. Here's a recap of the other topics we covered this week.

Thursday Tall Shape Up & Tall Workout Shirts

noreply@blogger.com (Krista) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:00:00 PST

It's my 1st weigh in since I started my tall shape up. Guess how many pounds I lost this week?

10.9 lbs

I could hardly believe it when I stepped on the scale! I am excited! I can't ever remember losing so many pounds in one week. I guess my body is ready to give up all the junk I ate over the holidays. Yeah! I know that it will most likely come off slower in the following weeks, but that's fine as long as I'm moving in the right direction.

If one of your goals is to lose some weight this year, I'd love you to leave a comment with the total amount of weight you've lost this year. I know it helps me to stay motivated.

Tall Fitness Swimsuits

noreply@blogger.com (Krista) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:53:00 PST

We're continuing on with fitness week showing you items you can wear while you are working out. Today we feature tall fitness swimsuits. Swimming is a great choice in workouts for those with joint pain, weak knees or those who just enjoy it. Oh, we wish were were lucky enough to live by the ocean, we'd take a swim every day. Water aerobics can be a challenging activity if you looking to mix up your workouts.

Don't you hate it when you're swimming and you get a (how do we say this) {wedgie}? It's gross! Come on, if you're tall you know what we're talking about! There's nothing worse than to have to constantly be pulling and tugging at the rear of your swimsuit as it rides up in all of the wrong places.

We want to save you from this agony and the embarrassment of showing everyone a full moon. Go ahead and get yourself a tall fitness swimsuit. We're featuring one piece long torso swimsuits as opposed to tankinis simply because they will stay put and give you less drag in the pool.

Panelled Active Tall Swimwear - Long Tall Sally
Racine Laptime Tall Swimsuit - Athleta
Conservative Long Torso Lap Suit - Swim Outlet

Custom Made Blouse - Swan Lake

noreply@blogger.com (Krista) — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 13:48:00 PST

One item that is hard to find is women's tall blouses with long enough sleeves or torso lengths. eShakti solves this problem as you can create custom made blouses in your measurements with the length you desire as well as the sleeve lengths.

I'm loving this Swan Lake Custom Made Blouse. The swans are a nice size and the colors work well for Winter or Spring. Wear with a pencil skirt, pants or jeans.

My Tall Shape Up Is Starting Today!

noreply@blogger.com (Krista) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 09:55:00 PST

My main goal this year is to get feeling healthy again. I have severe anemia, have put on weight and generally feel like crap. All of this blogging and website updating has been bad for my waist line. I've had a busy week, so today is the first day I've had to get my shape up plan together for the new year.

First thing, I stepped on the scale and I almost threw up. I knew I was out of shape, but wow, how embarrassing! That's the last time I want to see that number.

I got my kiddos off to school and hit the gym. I did 25 minutes on the bicycle and walked a mile around the track. It wasn't high cardio, but I have some back disk pain, so I don't want to hurt myself.

My fitness plan is to exercise 5 times per week mixing it up between weight lifting twice a week and a mixture of cardio, yoga and pilates.

For eating, I'm going to follow the Weight Watchers online program. I've done it in the past and it works well for me.

I will do my weigh ins once a week on Thursdays and document my progress here.

Anyone out there ready to get healthier this year and join me in a "Tall Shape Up?" Let's motivate each other!

By the way, this is how Barbie would like if she was 6' tall. It's very disproportionate and gross! Read the entire story on UPI.

Tall Personal Shopping: A New Year, A New Tall Wardrobe

noreply@blogger.com (Krista) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 05:30:00 PST

I received a personal shopping request from Rebecca who is ready for a whole need wardrobe. She feels like she's in a rut and has no idea how to dress. Rebecca is 32 years old with a 34"-36" inseam depending on shoe height. She wears a size 11 shoe. She has always been relatively thin and was placed on medication that made her gain a lot of weight. Lately she's lost most of it and is now wearing a size 10 or 12.

She says "I have been buying unflattering fat clothes for the last few years, now I have nothing up-to-date in my current sizes. I am pretty conservative, but I am always up for new and trendy clothes - I love clothes. I am just horrible at picking them out and mixing and matching."

Rebecca needs a new pair of jeans, work clothes, comfy shoes as she lives in Europe and walks a lot, and would like a leather jacket. Luckily she has an APO address, so can get most things shipped there.

Doesn't this request sound like fun? I hope she'll also invest in a new hair style to complete the look. Let's get started with the recommendations:

First off, when you aren't sure how to dress, I suggest you start by taking a look at our special of Women's Tall Clothing Basics - as it will give you a good idea of foundational pieces that most tall women need in their wardrobe.
