I am what I call torso-tall. That is, my legs are average length, but my torso is longer. I feel a lil bit insecure about my stomach and wonder if anyone has any brands they like that are good in that department? Basically longer, but don't make your stomach look massive.
I’m 5’10, and I’ve been 5’10 since I was 13-14. I’m 23 now. I was always taller than my peers growing up, and still taller than a lot of people I know, especially women. However, it caused me a lot of insecurity and I slouched my shoulders forward and inward, almost trying to hide myself for so long. Now it feels like trying to have proper posture is hard, but my back hurts. I can remind myself to sit up straight with my shoulders back, but then just gradually go back to slouching without realizing it. Any advice?
As the title say. I'm 6'1,trans female (sorry) with all that insinuate with no breast, wear size 13 female (or Eu 45) and don't really have female body (photo on profile if you're curious).
Maybe I ask too much but what advice would you give to me in my situation? I honestly don't know what to do and I give me a lot of dread recently.
Thanks.
This weekend I was crammed in the backseat of my friends Corolla driving to the beach (about an hour drive) and my legs were immediately cramping. Before I said anything Joe (friend turned……something more) who was sitting in front of me in the passenger seat moved his seat forward saying “I feel so bad, do you have enough room?” I didn’t, but he is also tall so I didn’t want him to be uncomfortable so I said “yes that’s perfect thank you!” I guess he knew I was lying but he didn’t want to make me feel bad so over the course of the trip he moved up a few inches at a time even moving the back of his seat forward towards the dash to give me more space. I kept telling him I was fine, because again he is also tall. Even taller than me and that’s saying something, but he didn’t even acknowledge it he was so cute he would move the seat when the music was load to try to hide the clicking noise so I wouldn’t notice. By the time we got to the beach this man was scooted up so much his knees were in his chest and it looked like he was in the fetal position. Lately he has been hinting that he wants to be more than friends and I was hesitant, it’s so stupid but his gesture of moving his seat up confirmed in my mind that he would always try his best to take care of me and make me feel comfortable. Even if he has to have leg cramps lollllllllll
Hey y’all! A lot of people I know have been super into Brandy recently. I know they’re one size fits all, but have you found that anything from there (especially the pants!) works?
This weekend I went to the Fjallraven shop in NYC (meatpacking district) which has a tailor in store. The longest women's inseam they have is 34 inches BUT they will ADD LENGTH for $30.
I have been on a frenzied hunt this weekend for a pair of low rise baggy jeans. I am a 36” inseam. My go to these days has been Buckle, but for some reason they’re sold out of a ton of their stock right now. I know ASOS has good length but I’ve been burned too much by their quality over the last couple years. I looked up Gap, American Eagle and Abercrombie and it seems like they only go up to 34”, with MAYBE one or two options going up to 35”. This echos another post recently when the OP said she felt like every brand had started shrinking their inseams. And I agree!! It feels like the options are drying up!! I know there’s brands like American Tall, Long Tall Sally, Amali Talli, etc but I just don’t think their quality/cuts are good enough.
So it’s got me thinking. Can we do like a mass email chain to reach out to these brands and beg for them to bring back their lengths??? I feel like they’re missing out on such a huge chunk of the population (and our money). Is this totally crazy lol??? Do we even think it would make a dent? Should I just put away my phone for the night and meditate instead?? It just feels like our options are drying up and it makes me so angry and I want to do something about it!
I was in the elevator with my husband and a couple got in, and the first thing the guy said was, "How tall are you?" What happened to saying good morning or how are you?
I work with the public and there's always someone treating me like an alien. And it's always a weird guy. Why???
I swear I’m such a weirdo. So I’m at work and suddenly this girl came into the cafeteria who obviously just started but she’s taller than I am and all I could do was stare and think “finally more of us!”
I also wanted to go up and hug her (tall girl awkwardness radar was going off) and say it’s ok we rule but I’m not that creepy
I have been trying to find a sexy summery shoe to wear for more formal occasions like a nice dinner and I just can’t find anything. What are the tall fashion girlies wearing? Also bonus points for Canadian brands or brands that ship to Canada!
I have a friend who told me that dating a taller woman will always be a struggle because they unconsciously will always "look down" on them, and no matter what great of a man you are, you will just never be respected the same way if you dated a shorter or equal in size woman who "looks up to you". What do you tall girls thing about this?
Me: standing in the hardware store perusing the selection of lightbulbs.
Along comes a 60’s something gentleman who says ‘You’re wonderfully tall’ on his way by.
An unexpected compliment that made my day.
Need recommendations for a wedding. The dress code is black tie optional but all the sample pictures on the dress code part of the invite are floor length. Does anyone have recommendations of where I could get a dress that would actually be floor length for someone who is 6’ barefoot and around 6’2 in kitten heels. Thank you! :)
Ok I just watched Ted Lasso and was introduced to Hannah Waddingham. Obsessed she is my fashion idol now. She’s 5’11”! Her hair is amaaaazing I love that she makes a shorter bob so stylish. So if you haven’t come across her yet like me, check out this tall diva!
Hey I’m 5’10/ 5’11 ish and have always been very sensitive to “hangriness” and low blood sugar. I literally get like the Snickers commercial (youre not you when youre hungry). When I eat I feel better quickly, and feel so much more positive, patient, and kind.. until it’s about an hour before my next meal and I start to get impatient and hangry again. It’s annoying to always be planning and thinking about what to eat to keep full every couple hours, but I don’t like how I get when my energy gets low.
I’m eating full meals (and snacks) and try to always have fiber and protein with all meals.
Have you found any snacks or tips to keep energy and blood sugar levels up or steady throughout the day?
Ive come to the realization..tall girls NEED tall friends. Ive had a tall friend group in highschool and thats the one time I felt truly comfortable and wanted in a friend group. Now seeing the core 4 from love island S8 really confirmed my beliefs, tall women NEED tall friends. We understand eachothers struggles and wont try to use height as a way to get guys attention. I think tall girls should stick together, plus we hold WAY MORE power when were in a group. With that being said—im looking for tall friends whos in their mid-late 20s, living on the east coast (of the US) lol
Hi fellow tall girls! I’m hoping to get into hiking more and spend more time outdoors, but I’m a total newbie when it comes to hiking boots.
My biggest struggle so far is sizing. I’ve noticed a lot of women’s hiking boots seem to stop around a US 9, so I’d love recommendations from other tall/large-footed women.
Any brands you love that:
- Come in larger women’s sizes (US12)
- Are comfortable and good for someone getting into hiking
- Are available in Canada (shipping from the US is brutal at the moment $)
Also open to any advice on what I should actually be looking for in a hiking boot. I have no idea where to start!
Thanks!
The quality is so surprisingly nice given the price. They are quite wide, and I do recommend sizing up one size anyway so the waist will fit. At least, that's what I had to do for my middle-aged body. Looks like Target now carries quite a few pants in tall/long sizes. I'm 6'1", and these pants grazed the floor for me when I was shoeless.
Hey. I am 5`8 and while I know its not gigantic, its still tall. I am smaller than half of men but taller than nearly every woman. I wish I was like 5`0 - 5`4ft.
I am 23 so at least I wont grow any further, I thought of height reduction surgery which is performed mostly safely in munich in Germany and can reduce 1-2 inches. However its still risky and also so expensive it takes me years to save for.
I know there are women taller than me, but I do not want to be a model, and while the saying is guys want taller girls, the reality is most come together with the small ones.
However I am not wanting this for dating life anyways, I just myself feel very uncomfortable with it. I feel horrible looking down at people when listening or talking to them and like more looking up. When I was little I was always the small kid and I really liked that. Ever since I grew to be taller than most people my life became very sad and I hate myself.
I tried feeling comfortable with it, accepting it being unchangeable, finding a different style, writing down idols who are around my height, but its not fixing me feeling uncomfortable.
I don’t know what I can do anymore, it feels very hard to live with this for me.
