Funny Halloween Costumes for Tall People

It’s time to start thinking about what you are going to wear for Halloween. Do you dress up? I do some years, but this year my four-year old daughter informed me rather forcefully that we are both going to be Princesses, so I am still working on that one.

I started thinking about how Halloween is the perfect time for us to have a little fun with our height. So today I present you some Funny Halloween Costumes for Tall People:

As you can see, it was easier to come up with costumes for the tall guys. However, over at  ‘Love my Long Legs Blog’, Sheri has listed more ideas for Tall Women’s Halloween Costumes.

Skirt Extenders for Tall Women

Has this ever happened to you? You find the most beautiful skirt and when you try it on it’s a tad bit too short. Perhaps if you tugged on it a little more, it might work. But then you sit down and suddenly this skirt is 3″ too short. Oh no! Another wasted skirt. This is a common problem for tall women, but I’ve come across the perfect solution and they are called skirt extenders.

Skirt extenders are a slip you wear under your skirt or dress and they have several inches of ruffle lace, or layers of ribbons. I’ve also seen them made from tulle. You put on the slip and it hangs down lower  than your skirt or dress. The above skirt extender has a 28″ length – which will hit many tall women just under the knee.

I found an Etsy store that will create a custom length skirt extender in whatever length you need.

If you sew, you can even make your own skirt extender. Details here or here.

I’m thinking as tall women, we all need a skirt extender to extend our wardrobe choices.
