The Fashion Industry Still Fails Tall Women (and No One Talks About THIS ONE PROBLEM) ft. Sumissura

from A Tall Girl's Podcast · host India

If you’re a tall girl reading this right now, I’m sure you’ve struggled with clothing at some point in your life. Heck, you’re probably even struggling with clothing right now at this moment. Were you just online shopping? And trying to filter through them 32-inch inseam jeans? It’s okay; you don’t have to lie lol. It happens to the best of us. But yeah, clothing is probably the biggest tall girl problem….ever. There’s no doubt about it. The pants, the skirts, the shoes, but there’s one article of clothing that isn’t spoken about enough, and that is: dresses.  Okay, we do speak about it, BUT it’s not spoken about as much as pants. Don’t come for me. I know we can at least agree on that. So today, we’re going to be talking about why brands are falling short (literally lol) when it comes to dresses for the tall girlies and an amazing solution to this problem.
