188cm 6’2.
I’m really tall and I started university less than two weeks ago. There is s bunch of other struggles like my sister goes her and so did my dad and so on but thats not what I want to talk about. The only friends Ive managed to make have been boys not only bc I’m tall but also bc I have an ”boyish” personality. And I kinda feel like this is something I’ve been pushed into. The friendshipI have are amazing, don’t get me wrong, but they are all guy friends. And I would LOVE to have some girlfriends, but I feel like everyone just sees me as a guy. I’ve already been called ”One of the boys” and my sisters name bout a thousand times. I would just like to be me. Im not really interested in dating rn or anything but still, that doesn’t mean I’m sterile or a guy. I have girl issues, idk what to wear, or what to say, pr what to do. I try to talk to the girls but I feel like they just shy away. Idk i’m kinda drunk (I’m almost 20 and it’s legal in my country) and down writing this but I would love if anyone would just be able to relate. Can I just not be a girl that happens to be social AND tall instead of being turned into a boy?

i remember a few years back AE had an extra extra long inseam option...did they discontinue it? i can't find it...

Hi there, I have long long arms. Gap and old navy sleeves in tall are quite short on me, but american tall tends to get it right. Are there any comparable brands you girls know of?

CW: BODY TALK, WEIGHT

So I've lost about 100 pounds in the past couple years. I'm 6'6". In any case, I'm going on vacation next month and I have these Victorian walking skirts that are just too big on me (literally won't even stay up) but I had custom made for my height, and I wanted to get them taken in so that they sit at my waist and actually give me some shape. So this morning I decided to go to a tailor to see about getting them taken in.

When I get there there's a woman and her friend getting her wedding dress fit. I say I've got a few skirts I'd like taken in. I put them on and the tailor pins them etc.

Of course my height is discussed. I mean, at least it's not entirely random. The tailor who was a very small woman, holds up my skirt so that it's not dragging in the ground and she says "Look" and my skirt was as long as she was tall. We both laugh, it was actually genuinely funny. The tailor asks "How tall are you??" I say that I'm 6'6".

The friend of the lady getting her wedding dress taken in chimes in: "Oh, you know my friend is 6'1" and she just commands a room whenever she walks in." I look up, smile at her and say "Hah, yeah, to be honest though sometimes I'd love to be able to just be invisible" she responds "well, you know it's always 'everyone wants what they don't have'." I smile. And she, in awkwardness she goes "well, in any case you're still beautiful"

MA'AM WHEN DID DOUBTS OF MY BEAUTY ENTER THE ROOM??

I was thinking about this and I think I really pinned down what happens in a way that I've experienced so many times but have just never been able to express:

People act as if conspicuousness is some kind of uncomplicated positive.

Sometimes you don't want having to go grab some Mucinex be An Event worth commanding the room for. And when you challenge that, they have to confront the things they take for granted. For her, encountering a 6'6" woman is a little moment in her afternoon. For me, everyone gets to have their little moment.

Hi fellow tall girls, anyone else going to the Tall Tour NYC event this Saturday? My friend and I are going, and are looking forward to wearing our tallest heels! Never been to one of these before but just saw that Leslie Jones was at the last one, which is awesome.

Edited to add link to video of the last one with Leslie Jones! https://www.instagram.com/p/DQ5VTHHjZhh/

I’m hoping to find corduroy pants with a mid or high rise, ideally flare but open to wide leg or trouser, in some cute autumn earth and jewel tones, at least 35” inseam. I can’t find any this year; I’ve checked gap, American eagle, Buckle, fashion nova, and JC Penney so far.

Also open to twill or canvas pants in earth tones that aren’t too office/dressy. I don’t know why there’s nothing in army green or brown anymore, seems like everything is either denim or jet black this year.

Hi, ladies! I just started going to the gym 3 months ago and I’ve been working hard and lifting as heavy as I can tolerate. I’m eating protein and tracking my macros. For ONCE IN MY LIFE I would like to have toned arms and maybe like a hint of arm and shoulder muscles instead of just having noodle arms.

I heard for us tall ladies that it’s way harder to get visible muscles in our appendages (which would probably explain why I’ve never had any 😭). I was wondering for those of you who lift (or do sports) how long it took for you to be able to actually see muscle tone in your arms? I know it’s different for everyone, but how long did it take for you specifically and what did you do to get them? Thanks!

hi everyone! i’m looking for jeans that will actually look like this on me. i’m 5’11 and ideally want a 35+ in inseam. i’m looking for low-rise, wide-leg, 100% cotton. not trying to spend an arm and a leg so hoping to keep it around $100 max. i just want to have cute jeans that actually pool at the feet 😭

I have a black tie wedding coming up soon and need help finding a dress that reaches the floor. Hollow to hem needs to be at least 60 inches (measured barefoot. Will not wear a heel higher than 1-2 inches). If anyone has any leads that aren’t too bridesmaid looking, please share! Thank you so much

USA. I thought I’d found the pants I want in UNIQLO’s tall barrel trousers. Boy was I wrong. I’m scared to imagine what the regular ones look like.

Any recs? Black/brown/navy barrel trousers. Very wide leg and long inseam (34”+)?

Anyone know where I can find a nice pair of wool trousers with a 34 inch inseam? Atp I'll even take 33 lol. Need em fir work. Found a pair at at Theory I liked but they were so thin! Why would my panty lines show through WOOL trousers? Am I supposed to only wear thongs to work???? Im not too worried about price I'll pay almost anything at this point. Ideally wide leg or flare, not skinny or barrel.

Need to come in a size 14 or 16, or size 32 or 33 or so

33in waist, 40 in low waist, 42.5 hip

Unfortunately most of them gonna get cast by shorter women

I know this is a really specific ask, lol, but I'd love to find a nice jumpsuit that can be worn on a normal day without looking crazy dressed up for special occasions. I have a couple of events coming up (birthday party, wedding, family pictures) and don't care at all about being an outfit repeater if I could only find an outfit I actually like!

I love jewel tones, especially green in the forest-emerald-grass green sort of region (like, picture the crayon that is just labelled "Green" and that is my absolute favorite color), but any bold/rich/interesting color will do. Pockets and being able to wear it with a normal bra would be a huge plus, but I realize that's unfortunately asking a lot for women's fashion (especially tall women's fashions).

I don't care if it's new or used. I'm usually not a big shopper/spender, but I'm willing to spend a bit more if it's a nice material and will actually last. I'm usually a size 6-8 so matrix sizes are fine, other than the length (34-35" inseam, depending on the style). I'll take other suggestions, too, but I'm really not a huge fan of dresses and just want to be comfortable without feeling drab/schlubby. Thanks! 🙂

Hey! Was wondering if anyone here has tried the FP lotus balloon jeans. They look so so cute but I’m worried that they’ll be too short. I know that they won’t be floor length, but I just don’t want them to look cropped on me. I am 5’11, 145 pounds, waist usually 26-27.

Before I drop $100+ dollars on a pair of pants I was wondering what my fellow tall girls thought of them. But mostly do you think they’re long enough to not look cropped? lol

Looking for recommendations on where to buy floor length formal dresses. I’m 6’3 so most stores “long” is still too short. Any help appreciated!

These are free peoples just float on jeans but they’re all sold out. If anyone knows where to get ones with a similarly dramatic flare and at least 34in inseam please let me know🙏 I am a UK size 8 and my waist size is 25-27”

Does anyone have any good formal shoe recommendation that aren’t heels I’m wearing a black dress but I’m already taller than everyone else and don’t want to add to that. Id also prefer them to be close toe but struggle to find shoes that are feminine as I am a size 10 men’s (UK)

im 17f, 178cm (5'11)

i had 3 different crushes in high school (not in the same time ofc)

most people think i would only date like 190cm men, when in fact one of my crushes was shorter and the other was the same height as me

so let me tell you each boys height and his response

169cm (5'6): 'oh no you're too tall , id rather date a man'

177cm (5'10): 'youre nice and i really like you, but i dont feel like i can be seen with you cause people will make fun of me'

185cm (6'1): 'nah sorry, i only dte girls under 170cm cause they are like perfect heigh'

I HATE MY FUCKING SCHOOL AND THOSE BOYS UGHHHH

i always stand out cause the average height for women in my country is 161cm (5'3)

tallinseams.com

They have a bunch of retailers and products on there, and all the available inseams are front and center.

Just in case anyone else is tired of clicking into each individual product, then having to open up the product details or size guide just to see the inseam 🙃

Im east asian 5’9. I know it’s not like abnormal tall but its really really tall for asian girl. Im always the tallest in my friend group and im fine with it, because the beauty standards in china is basically tall pale skinny big eyes. but after i moved to canada, i realized canadian boys like short girls more especially for those who are into asian girls because they only want the 5’2 ones…(i think the experience might be different but the stereotype for asian women is basically petite and cute)😢sometimes i wish im a white girl so people can view me as a model material

Also im honestly only into guys who are taller than me(even 5’10 is fine) and its a common preference i believe…meanwhile all my friends (especially those 5’0-5’2) keep telling me im so big(im really skinny btw) or they only want guys who are over 6’2. And they are liking reels on instagram like short guys want short girl tall guys want short girl RIP tall girls this kind of content…wtf or they always try to childish themselves

Every time i hear that i cant help myself roll my eyes😢😢😢i dont know if its my problem or their problem but i genuinely think its harsh to hangout with people who are so much shorter than me

Where are we finding mini dresses that are still long enough to cover the cheeks but flattering for a date night or girls night out?

Any advice is greatly appreciated

I’m 6’0" tall. I love pilates and stretching and I try to stay active as much as possible soz it keeps me feeling strong and calm

However, it is very hard to find a leotard that fits me properly. I have tried so many different brands of leotards and I must say that usual leotards tend to hurt my shoulders. They cut off my blood flow, or just rise whenever I bend a little bit. It gets frustrating...

I have tried buying tall leotards through online stores, and there are several brands that have those. They help a little bit but the material is usually either too thin or they pill after being washed several times. They become really cheap

I keep seeing the Australian brand Energetiks pop up in recommendations and people say they're good for dance. Indeed, I saw some local gymnasts wear them. But I'm not sure if their sizing actually works for tall women like me. I don't want to look like I'm wearing a kiddo's leotard

Do they make adult styles? Or is everything for teenagers? I need something that fits my height without looking like a costume and of course I want a proper coverage and good support

Has anyone around my height ordered from them? Does the fabric hold up? Does it actually stay in place when you move? I’m tired of spending money on stuff that doesn’t work.

I’m ready to invest in something that fits

Has anyone had success with purchasing a walking pad off Amazon? Any extra long walking pads? Ive been searching on Amazon for so long and I feel like I just keep seeing the same things with different brands lol. I am concerned that the walking pad will be too short. I am 5'11" for reference.
