I get emails all the time from tall, plus size women wondering why they can’t find any clothing that fits. I understand that it is harder to find tall plus size clothing, but it is out there. You need to be more open to trying different types as clothing as normally it will not be labeled as “tall, plus size”. Look at the labels and read the lengths and descriptions and you will be suprised as the options that exist.
Another tip I can give you is that if you find a tall, plus size clothing item, don’t wait to make your purchase. Most often it will sell out before it goes on sale. Sorry, but that’s the reality as your size is made in limited quanities and gets scooped up fast.
With that said, today I would like to feature a tall plus size designer outfit.

6. Wendy Culpepper Sterling Silver Earrings
I hope you enjoy this tall, plus size designer outfit!

Self Esteem Books for Tall People
Many tall people at one point or another in their life have suffered from some sort of self-esteem issues. I know as a tall girl, grade school and Jr. high were particularly difficult. One day in 6th grade a visitor came into the classroom. With my back turned toward him, he thought I was the teacher. I also received daily taunts from “short boys”. As I look back on it, the taunting was because the short boys were just as insecure about their height as I was about mine. Today I came across some books at Amazon that may help with self-esteem issues for tall people including children and adults.
Michelle Obama: First Lady of Hope
When I sign off of my monthly newsletters I always say, “Thanks, and remember to stand tall.” What does this mean to me? Not only does it mean to stand up straight and be proud of who you are, but it also has another meaning. Take a stand, a conviction, be proud of who you are and what you believe in. This is the deeper meaning I feel when I say, “remember to stand tall.”
Are Tall People Being Discriminated Against in Stores?
I just got back from a few days in Las Vegas. My husband was attending the “World of Concrete Convention”. Another couple from work went with us. I thought I’d be a supportive wife and attend the convention with my husband. After about 2 hours I couldn’t take it anymore. I was so bored and so was Debbie, the other wife attending the convention.
So we escaped to the mall. I hate shopping in the mall as there is rarely anything that fits me. However, they did have a few department stores that sometime carry longer length clothing, so shopping had to be better than looking at another concrete display.
Debbie is short and a petite size 4. We determined our best shopping strategy would be to enter a store, split up and shop, then meet up before leaving the store. This worked well for us.
At the end of our shopping trip, Debbie was elated at having found a pair of comfy tennis shoes and a few tops. I was very disappointed as none of the stores carried size 12 shoes or anything that was proportioned correctly for my tall frame.
One thing I did notice is that in the 4 major department stores we visited, none of the sales ladies offered me any help. They had plenty of sales people, but they seemed to ignore that fact that I was standing in front of them. This is not a new phenomenon. I experience this discrimination frequently. I chock it up to the fact, that most “average sized sales people” don’t know how to dress a tall woman.
When I questioned Debbie about the sales people in the stores she visited, she said she was asked 2-4 times if she needed help in each store. Clearly there has to be discrimation as we visited the exact same stores.
