Re: Why are LL Bean tops and sweaters so short?

I love LL Bean although I try not to order too often ($). I had noticed the top length issue  before but I just chalked it up to my weirdo body shape lol. I'm just under 5 ft 4 but my torso is about a Texas mile......sadly my legs are around 2 inches long.

 

Someone tipped me off about buying tops in "Tall" sizes (when offered) and they were right. They are perfect for a long torso.

I like it because I've never been considered a "Tall" in anything Smiley Very Happy

I had to laugh about the 2-inch legs...we might be twins separated at birth.

LL Bean philosophy is good clothing in easy care fabrics.  They do have to leep style relevant, and stay "middle of the road".  The longer tops are more fashion forward.

I despise long tops. I'm 5'9" and actually buy many of my tops in the petite department because I like them shorter on me.
