A shopping blog for tall people. Home April 24, 2010 longer length dresses i have been peeking at the adorable, little dresses on ModCloth for some time now, knowing there is nothing i could wear that would cover my ass. now they have a "longer lengths" dresses section. sweet! of course, they would still be minis on me. now the only problem is the torsos are too short. the top of the skirt on this fantastically patriotic & nautical dress would hit directly under my boobs. ho hum. it’s fun to look, anyway. if you are just a little tall, these longer dresses may do the trick for you.

Swrve are known for their quality cycling gear, and these jeans look like they’re fit for double duty, if you’re a cyclist who rides to work. Complete with a reflective patch on the inside of the drive-side (i.e. right) leg, and a 36" inseam, they’ve got tons of details that tall cyclists are bound to appreciate. Plus, they’re made in the USA! Go Swrve!

Not everything here is tall-related, but you’ll probably see some cross-posting, and see a bunch more stuff that I’m gathering from around the Web. Enjoy!

Most of my shirts came from Nordstrom, as they were the only source I could find with a Large/Long sizing, but even those were blousey, billowy, and generally ill-fitting in the body. Enter RibbedTee . Their undershirts are tailored especially for slim body types, and even after washing, have a torso length of 30" in the L size. I ordered 2 to start with, and am extremely happy with them. At ~$10 each, they’re a deal compared to designer label undershirts.

I got the G4 Slimfit Jacket in tan (seen above), the Oakmont Wax Canvas Peacoat (below), a short-sleeved polo , and the short-sleeved Fraser Tartan last Sunday. Well, they arrived yesterday (that’s 3 days, shipped from the UK!). I was ordering kind of blind, hoping that sleeve length on the jackets wouldn’t be horribly short, and I’d have repack and return ship them to Yorkshire. They fit great in the body, and the sleeve length, while not expressly "tall" also fits very well. Baracuta’s having a warehouse sale right now! Snap ’em up!

It looks like Delta is introducing staggered row seating to help alleviate the sleep deprivation problems of aisle and middle-seat passengers on long-haul transatlantic flights. What it could be is a standardized solution to the epic shoulder-to-shoulder fight for space between tall passengers seated next to each other on any length of flight. No idea whether this configuration helps the legroom issue at all, but at least we’re a step forward on solving the upper-body space issues of tall airline passengers!

It fits great through the body, and even in the sleeves. I tried on the motorcycle jackets, and other Barbour stuff they had in the store, but nothing fit quite as well as the sweater. And... it was on sale! Dec 30, 2008 11:51:34 PM Comment 0 Reblog It 0 July 23, 2008 tallr on tumblr I randomly ran across Jaclyn’s blog on Tumblr . She’s another tall girl looking for fashion amnesty. And we should support her. I think the accompanying picture speaks volumes about the counter-height-to-common-proportions battle we all face, as well. Welcome Jaclyn.

Growing up in Michigan indoctrinated me to college basketball, however, and usually if it’s on, I’ll watch a few minutes. I’d never seen or heard of Kenny George, UNC Asheville’s 7’7" center, however. That’s taller than Yao Ming, Shaq, and other minor notables in the NBA. He’s the tallest basketball player ever in the NCAA, and has a size 28 shoe. Can you say "Undefendable"?

(haha, get it? nevermind.) in my opinion, jetblue should just charge you once for this. beware. on the way to ny, we had a direct flight, so all was good. on the way back we had a layover in long beach. we got back on the same plane but could not have the same seat without paying extra. so we sat in a regular seat for that portion of the flight. jetblue has a little bit more legroom in their regular seats than...
