Fashion Questions

Things I think about when I go shopping:
Why was it, when I was a kid, if I wore pants that were too short, they were something to be made fun of, but now they're cool?
Why do short women and big women get their own section in a store ? What about tall women? Tall men get their own section. I don't think that's fair.
Why did they stop measuring bra sizes with the D? Why couldn't they have had E, F, and G instead of DD DDD and DDDD? I think that's confusing.

Hi

I work for a company called Long Tall Sally (http://www.longtallsally.com) and we specialise in clothing and footwear for tall women. Our motto is celebrate your height- who wouldn’t want to have the stature of a supermodel?!

Shopping can be a frustrating business when you don’t fit into the “standardl” zones of height and size. That’s why we specialise in clothes for women 5’7” or above (or an inside leg from 34” to 38") and offer sizes 10-20.

Working for a specialist tall retailer, I've also come across a couple of websites which have links to lots of resources which might help you taller girls out there:

www.longtallsally.com,
www.extratall.co.uk,
http://tallorder.typepad.com/home/,
www.uniquelywoman.co.uk,
www.tallclothingmall.com,
www.heightsite.com.

I hope this helps

Sam
