🌟 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.

Anyone know where to get long fleece-lined tights?

Long torso, short legs, apple shape tops?

My inseam is 25.5”. My legs are short and I wear petite pants. My torso is so long. It’s ridiculous. I’m a rectangle bordering apple shape so my shirts need to be long but not shapeless. Any pointers for tops and t shirts for plus size?

Size: 20 or 2-3x Bust: 52 Length: 31”

Plus sized sweatpants?

Does anyone know where to find long inseam sweatpants that come larger than a size 20? At this point I don’t care if they’re made for women. I have expended a decent amount of time on this search and have come up with nothing. Even the plus size brands that reliably have pants in longer inseams don’t do the same for their sweat or lounge pants (looking at you Torrid). I’m getting a little triggered by memories of how unbelievably hard it was to find decent clothes or shoes as a tall and fat young woman in the late 2000s. I thought online shopping had effectively ended those frustrations until I came to this sweatpants issue!

Edit for details: I’m 6’1, with about a 36 inch inseam, and am a U.S. women’s size 24 in most brands. I live in the Deep South.

What's your experience with one size hosiery (especially bodystocking) from Temu? (If you're 6 ft or above)

I'm wondering if they fit above 6 ft.

Rant about life as tall as”overweight” girl

I hate my life. And the main reason is because I’m tall. I was going to add also being “overweight” but my bmi is based on the fact that American women are generally almost a foot shorter than me. (I’m 6’1 and this is probably the only place I’d admit my height bc I ignore those questions or say idk to people irl) My life would be infinitely better if I was legit was at the tallest of 5’7 even if I was “overweight” at least I wouldn’t feel like a freak— I can handle overweight comments over height ones any day. I’ve always been the shy, reserved quiet type (so many of my personality tests have come out as me being highly introverted) so i know all of yall can imagine how big of cosmic joke it must’ve been to grow up almost taller than everyone and bigger.

Everyone makes the general sports assumptions, but on top of that the comments on my body is disgusting. It’s like people don’t think I’m real person with feelings. My femininity is stripped and on top of being tall and bigger I’m also a black woman… The masculinization is awful. “Thankfully”, I’ve only ever been called “sir” one time in my presence and it was because my hair was short at the time from the back. Didn’t help that the person who misgendered me was with some pick me ass girl who just kept laughing. I worked at a shoe store so I tried to pretend like I didn’t hear the slip up but imagine the composure I had… I was so disoriented the whole day.

I’m just some “dark looming figure”, God forbid you try to squeeze behind someone or come around a corner too fast, bc that’s what they’ll always say. I’ve had people tell me I have gorilla strength just because my arms are bigger and not from any obvious muscle just fat! And the fact that my shoulders are a little broader doesn’t help. I’m literally weak asf but every single time people assume I can carry the heaviest stuff. Especially when I worked at Amazon, apparently I could handle carrying heavy ass grills by myself and none of the men would step in to help unless I begged. Smaller girls wouldn’t even have to lift a finger. I can’t be “soft” because I’m automatically some heavyweight champ. I’ve had coworkers “joke” about how I could beat them up and legitimately question who’s stronger (yes apparently my weak self can beat up men with visible bully muscles just bc the height difference is 4 inches…) Even when I try to work out to lose the fat on my arms and hopefully lose the perception of being super strong, the gym trainers or my “friends” all assume I’m being some lazy fatass or lying when I struggle to do certain exercises that involve my upper body or my legs (bc all workouts are equal for all bodies, no adjustments needed, oh and because I’m tall I just have innate Godzilla strength so the gym should be a breeze).

I try to put it past me but I’ve legit have people do double takes and be loud asf about how talllll I am then start interrogating me in the middle of grocery stores like I’m a specimen. Not human. Not normal. Never normal. I remember some man and his girl wanted to take a picture with me because I was taller than them at like 13 (5’9).

And please don’t tell me to ignore the comments because I’ve tried for the 10 years I’ve been abnormally tall and it doesn’t get better at all. My self esteem is in shambles and I don’t see a point in leaving my house. If I didn’t need money I would just let myself rot in bed in hopes that my bones deteriorate until I’m like 4 inches shorter. I think maybe the only thing that’ll offset my hatred from my body is to lose a huge amount of weight. I could probably handle the slender man jokes because at least I’ll be seen as frail and not some linebacker. At least I’ll feel like I’m not taking up as much space… idk. And I know I’m not ugly either. Really helps when men tell me how beautiful I am but that I’m just “too tall”, even from men my height or taller lol!

Sidenote: has anyone seen successful height reducing surgeries and the prices. I’ll deal with long ass arms and possibly not able to walk for too long

Side-sidenote: I also understand that there are girls/women in here that are taller than me and obviously have received the worser end of the stick, but please let me just grovel. A guy I’ve been friends with for years apparently told some random guy we work with that he’s “scared of me” because he thinks I’ll beat him up. For what? I have no idea. I’m not even a violent person and he knows that. I don’t care if it was joke, it’s always some distasteful joke at my mental health’s expense. I’m tired. So very tired. Anxious and tired.

Tall Girl Jeans?

Hey! I’m a 5’11 girl, and I absolutely loveeee the low rise baggy jean look. But most of the jeans I’ve tried aren’t long enough 😅 Does anyone have any recommendations? I’m a 36’ inseam (sometimes 34 works but usually I have to stretch them out) here’s the style I’m looking for;

My self stem has been ruined

Hello, tall dolls. I guess I just want to rant a bit. My self esteem has been ruined thanks to online and real life comments from men. And what's funny is that the men usually are taller than me! Even if I didn't ask particular guy's opinion about tall girls, he (around 190cm or 6ft3) told me that 157 cm girls are so much better than me. Even without knowing me first personally.I get it , he prefers short girls, but why he needed to compare me? I don't think I am ugly. I am actually built like Shalom Harlow. I don't know, I feel so low right now. I feel like I am not desirable and I am less worthy than a short girl. Thanks for reading my rant, have a lovely weekend and excuse my bad English!

I bought these sweatpants yesterday from aerie… they don’t go to my ankles

They are super comfy and cute (a little too big for me) and I don’t have any sweatpants so I’m going to keep them. As you can see they don’t go to my ankles (about 3-4 inches above my ankles) so I’m just annoyed that they’re short on me. They didn’t have the short-regular-long sizes like they do for their leggings. I’m also annoyed because I was trying to buy leggings and I asked if they had the long size. The girl helping me said “don’t worry, they stretch out!” No! I wear the longs! The longs are almost perfect for me! I just ended up thanking her and politely declining, but I was upset they didn’t have any long leggings in the store. I rarely buy myself clothes so I’m just disappointed that the one time I was excited to go shopping, I couldn’t find the right length for me. I hate online shopping too, but I don’t know where else to buy pants that go down to my ankles :(

Netball

Just curious if anyone else follows the sport. Like England's Vitality Roses. Played in school, more professionally. Or still play now....

I've always played GA, and at 6'1/ 184cm I sometimes swapped to GD so the shorter shooters had no chance, as even if I stood 5ft away instead of the 3ft rule. My arm is way above their ball making it impossible for them to shoot....

I always wondered if ppl thought it odd that a 184cm player would play a shooter rather than a defender. But I was really enjoying the England team play Australia. Nail biting last minute win. The GA is amazing. But the shooter is just wow!. Olivia The GS is a whooping 191cm. Making Helens GA 184 seem small....

The defenders had no chance. An Olivia killed it. Has any old/new players ever thought about or seen shooters being taller? I mean it makes sense. As just like when I play, the defenders can't cover my shooting position. But until I started watching the england team I always assumed shooters were shorter. Maybe bc I've only ever seen shooters being shorter and really good.

Any tall Christmas sweater recommendations?

I really love the fair isle style of holiday sweater but I can’t ever seem to find them in long/tall. Has anyone found a holiday sweater that’s long enough in the torso and arms?

I’m willing to spend more for high quality and a typically a Medium. Located in the US but don’t mind having items shipped.

Looking for dupe recommendations

I’m 6’1”ish with a 34” inseam flat footed. I love the Abercrombie and Fitch curve love extra long denim because they genuinely fit me perfectly. However, I hate paying $90 for a pair of jeans and their Black Friday deals aren’t cutting it.

Does anyone have recommendations for denim similar to the curve love fit that will still have the length?

Tired of dressing boring

Hiya fellow tall ladies! I need your help in finding my fashion style.

I’m 36 and 6’3 with light skin, green eyes and dark brown hair. I’m from Spain but generally get confused with Northern Europe. I mostly buy clothes at GAP, sometimes at Banana Republic if the deals are really good. However I’m mostly dressing very plain, basic, safe pieces of clothing. I have some statement pieces like orange DocMartens or leather jacket. Sometimes I wear mini skirts or colorful dresses in the summer. I’m an adventurous, open minded, free spirit woman but I can’t seem to find more exciting brands that carry tall sizes, more patterns, different styles.

I also don’t want to stand out too much because I’m already very tall 🙃 but I’m starting to get over that fear. I’m all ears!!

Edit: I’m size 10, mostly dress casual. Lots of jeans, plain tops. Love high rise and flare, and skinny jeans/pants. I have some graphic t-shirts (vintage musical artists, classic art pieces…). Shoes are size 10.

Sweatpants for 40 inch inseam?

Hi y’all so for reference I’m 5’8 (172cm) but I have super long legs and a practically 40 (100cm) inch inseam. Waist 25 inches (64 cm). 105 lbs or 50 kilos. Skinni.

I am looking for the voluminous sweatpants. Not the skinny aaah ones on american tall. Are there any brands you guys recommend? I like mens brands because given my proportions they fit me better. Also just looking for recs in general for my gangly figure. For reference I want them to fit like miss danielle marsh. She’s the first pic I had available but this is how baggy I want them.

Can tall girls pull off Baby Tees

Per this NYT article linked below it seems to focus on smaller women doing baby tees. Can tall girls pull this off this look as well?

The Teeny, Tiny Tee Is Back (Again)

Some people are buying actual kids’ shirts, but this time, that relic of ’90s and Y2K fashion is available in many more sizes.

Long Torso tops

I am on the hunt for long torso tops for my mom. I’m taller than my mom so I thought this would be easy since I have my go to places, but I checked my usuals (banana republic/asos) and found nothing because my style (basically an edgy capsule wardrobe) is so different from my moms that nothing I see is really what I need. Her only request for Christmas is tops because she’s tired of the ones she has.

Mom wears L or XL (14/16) and likes soft dusty colors, v neck or scoop neck, long sleeves or fluttery short sleeves, and wants no characters/sayings on the top. Something church appropriate, nice but not fancy. She likes small floral prints/ little woodland critters / paisley and similar dainty sweet little house on the prairie type of prints.

Tall-friendly brands similar to P&co ?

Women's clothing generally doesn't have durability or long-term wearability, so I default a lot to more utility-type aesthetics offered by Dovetail Workwear and FjallRaven. I really like the aesthetic of P&co but their inseam options are 26" and 28". Are there any brands with similar aesthetics that have inseam options 30" ++?

Edit: I'm located in Canada, 5'10" & ~140lbs. Budget constraints: I'm not interested in spending more than $120 on a pair of denim/slacks/pants.
