What has happened to tall sizes???

TSV would be a great lounging set, but the tall size is a 31" inseam? That's not tall! It seems like now the inseams are either 34-35" or under 31" I've bought less and less clothing at the Q because of this. Even the jeans are short. And I despise the ankle length pants...my ankles are not my best quality and have no intention of showing them off.  Who's with me?

I have never been able to purchase clothing at QVC because their tall sizes are short on me. My favorite place to shop is Old Navy because they offer tall clothing in tops, shirts, dresses, jackets, pants and jeans. Also you can return items ordered online to their stores.

@JillF   I agree.  I would have ordered the tsv had the pants been at least a 34" inseam.  Additionally, the top needs to be about 2" longer.  

Of course it's cheaper to make the pants 31.5" inseams, but doesn't it cost the company money in the long run with lost sales?

@luvzchiz   We'd have to have access to the company computers to know what gives them buyers and what really loses shoppers.

I think we each have to find what works best for us.  For example, even most short or petite bottoms are too long for me.  Ankle pants most often are the closest I get to full length.

 

Seems to me, every company wins some and every company loses some.  When we really like the looks of a garment we feel won't fit to our satisfaction, we lose.  

 

I have reached a place in my life that I want to own fewer and fewer things of all types, so I'm okay with passing up the clothes that are unlikely to work for me.

The TSV has ankle length pants, so they are going to be shorter.  I am a petite and have a 27" inseam. The TVs petite pants are only 25.5".

 

Most of QVC full length pants in petite sizes are 29", so yes, they're short.

Isaac and Denim & Company both have talls with a 34" inseam.  Renee Greenstein's line also has 34" inseams.

I come to QVC for tall sizes, don't see them out in stores at all.
