🌟 Welcome to TallGirls – Where Height Takes Center Stage! 🌈 Please check out the rules & wiki before participating. ☀️


Rules

1. Be Considerate

  • Respect one another's differences but find a way to reach common ground or agree to disagree without resorting to character assassination.

  • Descrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, groups, classes, or categories is prohibited. Transphobia and bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Bans will be swift & permanent.

2. No Height Questions

  • Please do not ask users for information about their height that they haven't already provided!

  • Examples of height questions include asking how tall someone is, how to predict someone's height, if a height is considered tall, how tall someone was at a particular age, how to meet/date tall people, and a variety of other height-related questions that simply aren't appropriate for this space.

3. Body-Negative Threads

  • If you want to share negatively about your body (whether about your tallness or otherwise), you must use the Body Talk flair, spoiler the contents of your post, and omit negatively-charged descriptors and remarks from your title. More information here.

4. Personals & Dating Content Limitations

  • This sub is for commiseration and camaraderie!

  • This is not a place to pick up women. Telling TallGirls your relationship status can also be construed as attempting to fetishize tall girls & women. r/TallMeetTall may be a better sub if you are looking for companionship.

  • TallGirls venting about & discussing dating & relationships is allowed. (*Minors, please ensure your content is age-appropriate.)

5. SFW Goals

  • We want to remain a SFW subreddit and be a safe space for TallGirls of all ages. Porn, NSFW material, fetishization, obsession, and otherwise creepy comments of tall women are not allowed. Includes USER HISTORY. This will be strictly enforced.

6. No Short/Tall Hate

  • Abuse & insults related to height is prohibited. This includes gatekeeping height.

7. No Self-Promo/Advertising

  • We are open to promoting some ideas and projects, but please use modmail to discuss first.

  • We are not a promotion sub, and therefore without approval your post will be immediately removed. This includes subversive advertising e.g. having a profile based on a service but not directly advertising the service on the subreddit, hoping to attract views based on profile visits.

8. Selfies Restricted to Saturday

  • Selfies can be posted on Saturdays. Image posts require manual moderation, please be patient with your human moderators!

9. Participation in hate SubReddits & OF.

  • If you participate in quarantined, fetish, hate-speech, porn, fascist, or other NSFW/exclusionary SubReddits your account may be permanently banned from this sub. Even if your participation is to denounce hate it gives legitimacy to platforms that go against the values of this sub.

  • OnlyFans content in your bio will be caught by a ban bot. Please reach out to mods if this happens in error.

10. Be A Respectful Guest

  • Diverse opinions can make a sub great. This is not a place for non-TallGirls™ to invalidate TallGirls™, solicit users, be generally creepy, or make users uncomfortable. If your comment starts with, "As [a man/someone not-tall]..." Reconsider your comment.

  • Do not send unsolicited DMs - users will be reported to Admins for harassment, then added to a list in our wiki.

11. Mod Discretion & Crowd Control Measures

  • This is kind of a catch-all. A lot of folks show up & try to say, "But there isn't a RULE about that..." Now there is.

  • Reddit now has a feature called "Crowd Control" which allows mods to filter content from users outside of our communities. Non-community members are welcome to comment/post, but if your content is hostile it does mean an automatic ban. You aren't part of this community - we don't need to tolerate your behavior.

Communicate via modmail only.

It's a struggle when you're curvy (advice/tips also appreciated)

I'm not even that tall compared to many of y'all lovelies, but it's quite annoying when you have this much length head to toe and it comes with the curvy body shape and like, everything else. And it feels like something you gotta carry everywhere if that makes sense. So many of my body issues stem from being a girl that was never really completely fit , but no matter whether it was more fat or less fat, I always looked "heavy" and like I was taking up a lot of space in pictures, in public, in the elevator lol, like everywhere. I can feel like this luring thought from people that I look bigger compared to them.

I'm feeling like this at my height, I can imagine how troublesome it must be for women taller than me in this situation.

Feels like all the weight that should have gone vertical went like...outward instead lol Ever since puberty hit (I'm Indian origin so), I swear not a single ethnic dress or outfit fit me well, and my mom would scold me for just being fat "already" (??). It took literally 22 years, her getting things terribly stitched for me, her realizing it doesn't fit and me waiting for her to complain again about my weight, me just putting up with trying them and ignoring it later, for her to finally realize that maybe it's an "individual" thing depending upon the body type. She and I don't have the same figure.

Having said that, I can still be invisible in public even looking like this lol cause my dressing sense is like that. Way too minimal, and it's comfortable and I do personally like it, but I can't help but think I never got to explore what dresses/gowns actually suit me and look flattering on me. Never really dressed up/got done up, and I feel like I missed out on all of that growing up, and I wanna know what will look good on me, what won't. It's like a very small difference between looking extremely fine, gorgeous, even s*xy, all of that, and looking way too bland, disproportionate and unnecessarily large lmao. Feels like so many of the curvy women that can relate to me where I'm from, most tend to be on the shorter side so I can't really take advice from them regarding outfits. Its a little cringe now, but it's one reason why I follow famous people like Beyonce and her dressing sense a little, cause even she's got the natural curviness but she's fairly tall too. Even now as I'm finally losing weight, I can't really see this going anywhere beyond losing some weight at the waist, the legs and the back.

Tldr: the title

Found super long leggings!

Skydolls! It was an Instagram ad I fell for but genuinely glad I did. The leggings have a 39-40 inch inseam depending on the size you buy. Theres multiple hems on the bottom to trim to your desired length.

They’re really comfy. They are a little thin so underwear lines are VERY visible. Definitely recommend no shows or a thong. Or even a no show thong. But I love them so far. And pockets!!!

I’m 5’10, all leg. And this is the first time I’ve had to worry about leggings brushing on the ground. It’s amazing

I always roll my eyes when someone posts about how they hate when someone comments on their height.

I had a gal at the gym ask me if I played basketball or modeled. My instant reaction was an interior giggle as I thought of this sub. My second reaction was to simply answer yes and no. She was just awkwardly trying to strike up conversation. I'm 50, so I'm completely comfortable in my own skin at this point. I still don't get all the hate for those types of questions, I am pretty tall, so it is a bit of a novelty to average height women.

Best clothing for food service industry (Back of House) for tall women

I don't necessarily need it to look "nice", But I would like something durable, ideally that comes in several colors.

I feel like a lot of the stuff that I've found either hasn't been very durable or is clearly made for a man and fits weird.

If you have shoe recommendations, that would be helpful too.

I just want 100% cotton turtleneck sweaters!

Why is it so hard? I used to go to Land's End but this season they are only offering supima cotton, which I don't like because it's so thin, or one that is partially synthetic, which I can't stand.

BTW. 5'9, size 12/large.

Tall Women - Where can I find wide leg dress pants with extra long inseam?

I work in professional environment and love long wide leg dress pants; however, I struggle to find pants long enough. I am 5’9” and typically wear heels, and I prefer the pants to cover the heel. I have tried Aritzia pants in Tall and find they are quite long enough for my inseam, Abercrombie dress pants fit too awkwardly (have tried multiple sizes on several occasions). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Any idea where I can find a nice tall velour track suit?

I was able to buy one from Long Tall Sally a while back, but it’s getting threadbare after many years now, and I’d love to have a new one for the winter. American Tall doesn’t seem to have anything in velour, which honestly surprised me since the cold season is just starting. Maybe they’re out of style now??? I didn’t think such a comfortable basic would ever go out of style lol.

I’m hoping for an inseam of 36”, hopefully with longer sleeves too, but I’d settle for 35” or maybe even 34” since I haven’t found a lot of options. If you can point me to any brands you like, I’d really appreciate it.

Has anyone tried a set from the brand Comfrt? The pants look like they might be long enough because they are unisex but I can’t tell.

Aside from the ridiculous membership the sweats from savage x Fenty have been really good as far as unisex length goes. I’m in the US and looking for sweats that aren’t thin because it gets cold and snowy here😂

the never ending quest for jeans that are actually long enough

i’m so frustrated. i feel like every time i find a pair of jeans or pants i love and am ready to add them to my cart, i see they’re only offered in a 30 inch inseam or shorter. ok??? i feel like it’s impossible to find a single pair of jeans that i like and that actually hit me BELOW my ankle. i don’t even have a super long inseam (33”) but i almost never see anything above a 30 offered. it doesn’t help that i have a larger than average hip to waist ratio and a short torso/long legs so i have to deal with most jeans gapping at the waist also, which is a whole other challenge. so far the only mainstream clothing brands i’ve seen that offer curve sizing/long inseams are abercrombie and madewell but i’ve been too nervous to pull the trigger on ordering anything because i don’t really love the washes or fits they offer. i just want to be able to be picky about my purchases like people with more common measurements without having to sacrifice style for fit.

Oversized wool coat recs

Hey tall gals - I’m looking for a good place to get an oversized wool coat that would last me at least a couple years. I haven’t had much luck, as I’m finding that coats marketed as “oversized” don’t look that way on me as I’m 6’0” and 135-140 lbs.

Places I’ve looked into: ASOS, mango, old navy/gap/banana republic

Wide leg pants and jeans

Hello fellow super models! I stole that from another poster, but I love it :)

Having extra long legs is great for a ton of reasons, but my whiny gripe today is that they cause pant legs to hike up when we sit down, way more than they do on people with shorter legs.

I got a pair of wide leg cargo pants and they look amazing when I'm standing. When I sit down though they hike up enough that the wide cuff is just flapping around the middle of my calves, displaying my socks and pale legs and the whole look is ruined! My dad has had this problem his entire life, too, especially with dress pants. Pants with a little stretch to the fabric are better about this, but my new pants aren't stretchy at all.

Sorry, I know this is a petty, first-world problem, and I do appreciate that there are so many more tall clothing options now than there were even 10 or 15 years ago, but I just wanted to complain about it to a group of people who would understand!

Have any of you noticed people try to secretly take pictures of you?

I was on my way to my car today when I passed by a mother with her kid who literally stopped to take a picture of me with her phone. I saw this because I turned back to them when entering my car and she had her phone pointed at me but quickly put it away and continued walking.

This surprisingly isn’t the first time I’ve noticed this. I’ve also seen people taking photos of me when I’m just walking around the mall. One time when I was just sitting in my schools library I also noticed some rando guy just creepily pointing his phone at me.

Obviously this is making me very uncomfortable and paranoid, I’m thinking maybe they’re taking photos because I’m tall and wondering if any of you have noticed the same thing happening to you?

Mothers of tall girls, please instil loads of confidence in your tall daughters as they’re growing up!

I’m a tall girl. I’m a little over 5’10/178. It’s not like I’m the only tall woman in my family. My dad’s sister is 5’10 too. But I was never grown up to feel good about my height. I got constant reminders of me being tall since I was pre primary school. My mom and dad never really made me feel good about my height.

Now this is not necessary for averaged height people. It’s not necessary for tall boys and men either. But very essential for tall girls and women I feel. A few days ago my uncle saw my mother and I in public. He was on a motorcycle. Drove close to us and told me that I look like a walking wall. I cried when he left, we were in public.

My mom mummered a little something about him, like how he’s stupid to make her daughter cry, but I realised she never really backed me up with when my relatives used to exclaim about my height. Indian relatives are one the worst people on earth lol. I really wish she or my dad instilled some confidence ever since I started to realise that I’m a lot taller than my counterparts.

Lululemon vs Athleta

Don’t forget: Lululemon got its name bc the CEO was a stupid racist who thought it would be “hilarious” listening to Japanese ppl trying to pronounce it. 😡 They also only show “tall” for men, no women’s that I could find. Athleta has designated tall sizes that go from XS to XL, and their quality is comparable. Dunno about y’all but I’d much rather shop the non-racist, inclusive workout wear company!

Formal dresses for tall girls

Does anyone know where I can find dresses for tall women? I am looking for a dress that’s not casual, and of good quality. I’m 5’11. Flowy dresses that reach the floor and I’m not afraid to spend a little bit extra on it! Maybe like $200. Any help would be greatly appreciated!😊

Tall Girl Books

Good work appropriate Halloween costumes for a tall gal?

At my work, we’re allowed to dress up for Halloween. I only have a few days, and don’t really know what to be. What are some good costume ideas for a tall gal?

I’m blonde and was thinking of going as Barbie. But would that appear self centered?
