Delias Jeans up to 37"

Longer at Lands’ End

I recently wrote on this blog that Lands End “Tall” pants were not very long.  I was mistaken.  A Lands’ End representative responded with the comment that pants can be hemmed free of charge up to 36” and you can get customer crafted demin and chinos with inseams up to 40”. See her full comment under my 7/3/08 blog about Lands’ End swimwear.   At 40”, I can wear as high a heel as I want – awesome.

Long swimwear at Landsend

July 4th weekend is coming up and the beaches will be packed.  Landsend offer long lengths.  The challenge for tall females is to find a proper fitting bathing suit for long torsos.  Landsend’s suits for long torsos are 1.5 inches longer in the body than its standard cut.   Unfortunately their Tall pants are not long enough.  A Tall size 10, has a 29″ inseam, falling several inches shorter than other Tall brands. 

Landsend gets a B+, since few other online sites off swimwear for long torsos.  Check them out at: www.landsend.com

Max Length at MaxMara

Maximum $$$ for MaxMara.  Similiar to several other Designer Labels I’ve written about, MaxMara offers classic, expensive clothes that are proportioned to fit the tall female.  The pants come un-hemmed and have approximately 38″-39″ inseam.  The cost of dresses run about $600, coat from $1,500 – $2,000.   MaxMara does not have its own website but you can visit one of their stores, buy their clothes at the better retail stores, or go online and purchase items at Nordstrom.  Check out MaxMara 2008 Fall Collection.  Learn more about MaxMara: http://nymag.com/listings/stores/maxmara01
