Womens Large Size Shoes-3 Great Options

September 12, 2007 by ·

I have big feet and I love shoe shopping. Finding shoes that fit, has become a huge problem. As I have had my children, my feet have gotten a little longer with each pregnancy. It seemed like overnight my feet grew to a size 12. What a size 12? When did that happen? I have struggled to find women’s shoes that are big enough. Forget even trying to find them in the mall, size 12 shoes are virtually extinct. So, I have had to get creative and look elsewhere. Let me share with you some great options I have found for women’s large size shoes:

1. Barefoot Tess– is one of my favorite stores for large size shoes. They carry up to size 15 in women’s designer shoes. Until I found this store, I didn’t even know I could find stylish designer large size shoes. Their shoes are beautiful and are made from quality materials.

2. FootSmart is where I get all of my casual, every day tennis shoes and sandals. Their shoes are so comfortable- which is exactly what my feet need as my feet take a beating chasing my children around town. I especially like the Easy Spirit brand as they cushion my feet so nicely. FootSmart carries up to size 13.

3. ShoeBuy is another great shoe company for women’s large size shoes. With shoes up to size 15, this is a huge store with hundreds of pairs of large size women’s shoes! They also offer free shipping and free returns with no sales tax, which can really help stretch the budget.

If you have big feet and love shoe shopping as much as I do, you still have options. Don’t even attempt shoe shopping in the mall, as your choices are way too limited. Order a few pairs of shoes off the Internet, if they don’t fit return them. There are lots of Internet shoe companies with easy return policies so large size shoe shopping has never been easier.

Where to Find Womens Tall Pants

September 12, 2007 by ·

If you are an ultra-tall woman, what does that mean? It means that shopping for clothes is probably not your favorite past time, as you are a minority. Most ultra-tall women require jeans with inseam lengths of 36-38 inches long. So clothes shopping with your average height friends is a bit challenging. I feel your pain, as I am also an ultra tall woman. So, where can we shop? Well, we could just keep buying men’s jeans as the men’s clothing companies realize there are lots of tall men in the world. If you prefer more figure flattering pants, here are a few great clothing stores for you to try:

1. Tall Etc. is a clothing chain with 8 stores nationwide. They also have a great Internet website with tall women’s pants and jeans up to 38 inches long. They have casual tall pants as well as tall career pants.

2. Long Tall Sally is a UK company with many stores throughout the UK. They also offer worldwide delivery. They have stylish women’s tall pants up to 38 inches long. They also feature some longer length shirts, skirts, coats, and pajamas.

3. Designs by Stephene is another great store for tall women. They are a designer jean boutique that carries extra long designer jeans for tall women or tall men. I personally recommend their “7 For All Mankind” brand as they look great on most figures.

Now that you have these options, what are you waiting for? Go and get some tall pants that flatter your figure and are long enough!

Womens Tall Clothing- 5 Simple Solutions

September 12, 2007 by ·

So what’s hot right now in the tall clothing department? Is there such a thing as being able to wear fashionable clothing when you are tall? I used to think that trendy tall clothing was impossible to find.

Over the last few years, many retailers are adding longer-length items, but good luck finding them in their normal stores in the mall! Most of the tall sizes are found only through catalogs or online. Here are a few great tall clothing solutions:

1. Layering- use a longer length t-shirt or camisole to wear under any shirt. There are many fashionable companies that supply these now.

2. Specialty tall clothing stores will be your best option- as they make clothing specifically to fit your body type, such as special tall plus size clothing, which is a really hard size to find.

3. Custom made clothing is another great option. That way you can get tall clothing made to your exact measurements for your tall stature. You may think that tall custom-made clothing is expensive, but surprisingly, it is quite an affordable option. Custom clothing is available for tall swimsuits, tall jeans, tall chinos, custom made shirts and blouses, and larger size hats.

4. Tunics are really hot this year, which is great news for the tall sized lady. Some tunics are just long enough to make it look like a normal sized shirt on us. Others are quite long. Tunics are available in all kinds of fabric choices from basic t-shirts to designer evening blouses.

5. A great tall style trend right now is to add something shiny to your outfit. A great wide silver belt or a pair of gold shoes is a great way to dress up an average outfit. Big metal hoops look great on taller statures.

When it comes to shopping, tall women may have to search a little longer than most. The good news is, that tall clothing finally exists and the choices are growing more every season.

Tall Clothing- The Options Have Grown

September 12, 2007 by ·

As a 6’2” tall woman, I have considered my height a blessing. But it does have it’s challenges. I struggled my whole life to find tall clothing. When I was in high school, I basically had two choices for tall pants. Option number one was to wear the less figure-flattering men’s pants. Although I was an athlete, I wanted to look feminine, so men’s pants were out. The next option was excruciating. I would go to the mall and search high and low for tall pants. I would try on everything but nothing was quite right. Either the inseam was still too short, or the rise was too short, or they looked like an old woman’s pants. I could spend all day looking for pants that were long enough. Most of the time, I settled on pants that were a little too short. Imagine my excitement when capri pants came in style!

Retailers are finally taking note that there is a huge tall population in this world, with stores such as JCPenney now carrying a few tall items for women. Tall men still have more options with many retail stores creating Big and Tall sections for men.

Catalog companies such as Long Elegant Legs are filling a niche for tall clothing. Since I love clothing, a very memorable day was when I first received my catalog from Long Elegant Legs. I went on the biggest shopping spree of my life. My husband nearly passed out when four boxes of clothing arrived.

The best place I have found to shop for tall clothing is the Internet. Just do a standard search for tall clothing and you can find many pages of tall clothing stores. Specialty Web sites are creeping up for tall clothing in categories such as big and tall, plus size tall, custom-made tall, and tall maternity clothing. Shoe companies are beginning to cater to those of us who have size 12 shoes or larger with more Internet specialty shoe stores opening all the time.

Although it’s taken a long time, we finally have options in tall clothing. So let’s embrace our height and go find some clothes that are both stylish and long enough!
