I'm very late to this conversation, but really have to add that, at 5'11, even a 34 inch inseam is not long enough. Some of us have longer legs and also like to wear heels with our jeans without looking like ankle pants.  My inseam alone is 35 inches.  Add in a minimum 2 inch heel, that brings it to 37 inches.  The only retailer I was ever able to find those from, was Gap online.  years ago.  Now they don't sell them anymore.  The tall lengths QVC offers seem to sell out very quickly, so between that and the comments I've read here, I think that justifies offering a LONGER inseam.   Heck, maybe even an entire line specifically for true Talls and Ultra Talls.  And a good variety.  We shouldn't just have 3 or 4 options to chose from.  This goes for sweaters and tops as well.  A 26 inch length on a top is not a Tunic that covers your behind on a 6 foot tall woman. QVC claims to be at forefront.  They need to prove it.  Be the retailer who truly DOES cater to all the demographics.  I would love to try Laurie Felt.  But not with a 34 inch inseam.  That will barely get to my ankle.  So frustrating.

Eddie Bauer carries talls.  The one pair I just searched has a 36" inseam.

QVC....why do you keep ignoring us tall gals? You certainly have petite styles galore in tops and PANTS! Now you are starting to cornering the market with very large sizes in 4 and 5X. This is great and it’s about time. Good for them.But yet you do almost nothing for us tall gals.

 

Many have asked and asked for you to get Kim Gravel’s Flexibelle jeggings in TALL! But nope...nothing except a TSV months ago with boot cut jeans. Just like the TSV today for Kim, no talls! We need the longer rise and pant length. When are you and your vendors going to get it??? That includes Susan Graver and Denim & Co.  

 

How many more months or years have to go by before we get our tall jeggings by Kim. Probably when they are out of style. Spanx got the idea with tall leggings and they are  fantastic. I have six pair. How about jackets and coats in tall? Would be nice having an appropriate sleeve and body length. We tall gals are waiting for an answer! 


Over the years I have found that the only designers that cut for tall women are the very high end designers and they always cost quite a bit. I have a lot of luck with Linea pants, though.Ralph Lauren clothing always fits me. Add Theory to that list but they are all fairly expensive and my wardrobe is very small because of that.

 

Sometimes when I read or see the massive amount of clothing some participants on this forum have, I sigh. It must be nice to just wear a particular size where sleeves aren't half way up your arm or pants that end up looking like high water pants.
