    "Tall Clothing Sizes” Are A LIE | Why 'Tall' Clothing Still Isn't Tall Enough

    Check out this playlist of tall brands: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0fCZgSUAcqOJo3PFAz4zQhiNfJGZF5kw

    By the time this episode is up, my birthday will have already passed! Ya girl is 23 years old PERIODDDDDDD XDDDDDD. I had a whole thing over the weekend to celebrate my birthday since my birthday was indeed on a Tuesday EWUH lol so we had to work but if you wanna see what happened and some flicks and such, make sure you check out my socials. And don’t forget to wish me a happy birthday!

    Alrighty, today we are talking about how some tall clothing is in fact not tall clothing. Over the course of the past few months, I’ve stumbled across a few videos of some tall girls complaining about how pants that were labeled as “tall” or “long” aren’t actually “tall” or “long”. Like the jeans were not hitting their ankles. Not even close LOL.

    And I find this interesting because when we talk about tall girl problems in regards to clothing, we typically talk about how clothing brands don’t cater to us at all. Like there’s no tall clothing available at that particular store. BUT we don’t talk about when tall brands do have tall clothing lines, but the items STILL AREN’T LONG ENOUGH. Now that’s a whole different level lol because it’s like why are you gonna label something as tall but it’s not long enough??

    Where did you get your market research from?

    Did you even do any market research??

    Anyways, I will go deeper into why these brands have tall clothing lines that aren’t actually “tall” and where we should be getting our clothes from instead. Tune in to the full episode for more!

  • So The Tall Girls Wanna Be Shorter?? | Listen To This If You've Considered Height Reduction Surgery

    So The Tall Girls Wanna Be Shorter?? | Listen To This If You've Considered Height Reduction Surgery
    2025/04/03
    Okay, I have to ask – am I the only one?

    Am I the only tall girly who has considered height reduction surgery?

    Okay I was like 10 when I was actively considering it lol so there was no way that was ever really gonna happen but still. I hated my height so much that I genuinely wanted it. But thank goodness I didn’t get it because NOW I really do love my height.

    So, what is height reduction surgery?

    Height reduction surgery is a procedure that aims to reduce overall height by removing a portion of a bone or intentionally damaging growth plates to stop further growth. And yes okay this is a real thing; go and look it up…or just listen to this episode.

    I honestly think there are several medical reasons why someone would get this surgery, such as to even out limbs that are at different lengths, but this procedure remains rare. Why?? Who knows. Maybe because of the various risks associated with it.

    However, the tall girlies are not looking to get this procedure for medical reasons. So why would they actively consider it? Tune in to the full episode to find out!

    And a big thanks to Sumissura for sponsoring today’s episode!

    Finding clothes that actually fit our length and proportions is one of the biggest struggles tall women face. Because, let’s be real, most big brands just don’t get it. They either ignore us completely or think adding a couple of inches makes something “tall.” Yeah… not quite.

    That’s where Sumissura comes in. They’re a custom clothing brand that uses a made-to-measure system to create garments tailored to your body. All you have to do is enter your height, weight, and body type, and using over 13 years of algorithm training, they predict your measurements, including leg length, waist, and more so that you never have to second-guess the fit.

  • Height Is A DISADVANTAGE For Tall Women In The Workplace?? | Tall Women Struggle at Work More Than You Think

    Height Is A DISADVANTAGE For Tall Women In The Workplace?? | Tall Women Struggle at Work More Than You Think
    2025/03/27
    Today’s episode is actually inspired by a couple of TikTok videos I’ve seen recently. It started off with a tall girl video-ing herself what text on the screen saying “me at work” or something of that sort. Then it cuts to screenshots of people (stock images of course) with things that these people in the workplace have said to her because she’s tall. So things like “Oh I wish I had your height” or “Why don’t you play basketball?” and so forth lol

    I thought it was funny; I thought it was a joke so I kept scrolling. Then I came across ANOTHER video of a tall girl talking about how she was in a meeting for work and that the person said “Oh, you’re taller than I expected”. And then I was like oh…so stuff like this happens for real lol?? Do people actually make comments about our height in professional settings?

    Now, the thing is I’m mainly remote. I’m a freelance marketer and I go into some type of office, professional setting like one day a week. And that’s only been happening for a few weeks. So I can’t really speak on the experiences of being a tall woman in the workplace. So I did what anyone else would do and took my inquiries to the Internet - aka Reddit and you guys lol.

    So I asked y’all on Instagram what your experiences have been like in the workplace as tall women. Because let’s face it, people say that tall people tend to be more successful in their careers, get paid more, etc. And by tall people, they mean tall men. Let’s find out if tall women’s experiences are the same or different. Tune into the full episode!

  • Is This The Only Solution To Our Tall Girl Fashion Problems? | Let's See If This Brand Is REALLY For The Tall Girlies ft. Sumissura

    Is This The Only Solution To Our Tall Girl Fashion Problems? | Let's See If This Brand Is REALLY For The Tall Girlies ft. Sumissura
    2025/03/20
    One of the biggest struggles tall girls will ever face is fashion/clothing problems. Like we allllll know the struggle.

    It’s pretty normal for us to walk into a store and see a petite clothing section, a regular size clothing section, even a plus size section, but we’re like, where’s the tall section?? So that leads us to take our search online. Half the time major brands lie about selling tall clothing. They literally just slap an extra inch of fabric and call it tall without considering our proportions. Or if you’re anything like me, sometimes you find true tall clothing to be a little too tall :///

    Lol it’s like we can’t win.

    Or can we??

    Today, I’m partnering with Sumissura to see if it’s the solution to our tall girl problems. Sumissura is a custom clothing brand that uses a made-to-measure system to create garments that are unique to your body. They use several years of algorithm training to calculate measurements based on your height, weight, age, and body type.

    I went through the whole entire process from designing my garments down to the smallest details like the buttons to getting the clothes delivered to me and trying them on.

  • The Tall Truth: How Fashion, The Media, and Society Fail Tall Women ft. Heidi Burns

    The Tall Truth: How Fashion, The Media, and Society Fail Tall Women ft. Heidi Burns
    2025/03/13
    Today, we are joined by a special guest – a fellow tall girl named Heidi!

    We are talking about all things tall from fashion to media representation and even societal norms. Let’s face it: as tall women, it can feel like the world is against us sometimes. Clothing brands rarely cater to us (although I will say that it’s gotten better in recent years!). We’re often depicted as villainous or masculine in the media. And people tend to make unwarranted comments and ask STOOPID questions regarding our height.

    And with most of the people around us being shorter than us, it’s easy to feel alone.
    But the tall girl community remains strong as always! Plenty of us have experienced the same thing, and today, Heidi and I are ready to share our stories and provide advice on overcoming these challenges. Tune in to the full episode for more!

    Your height plays a bigger role in your life than you think. It plays a part in your health, the type of clothing you wear, the opportunities you receive, and even people’s first impressions of you.

    Yup, I said it, it even affects people's first impressions of you.

    People will literally treat you a certain way because of your height and many tall women feel as though they’re treated unfairly or even discriminated against because of their height, which leads us to the topic of discussion: is height discrimination even real? And how does it affect tall women?

    Fun fact, I was actually stuck on what to talk about this week, so I ran a poll over on Instagram. Some of the topics I was looking to discuss included social media being bad for tall girls, what it’s like being a tall woman in the workplace, height discrimination, and the tall family who lied about their height. And the topic of height discrimination BARELY won, indicating that I got some good topics here :)

    Anyways, HEIGHT DISCRIMINATION. Height discrimination, or heightism, is essentially people being treated unfairly or unequally because of their height. This can look like bullying or microaggressions, rejection in dating solely on the basis of height, and even people’s perceptions of you being affected in the workplace because of your height.

    It can even affect whether or not you get a job or promotion!

    So is height discrimination a real thing? Does it affect tall women? Tune in to the full episode for more!

  • Why Finding Clothes Is So Hard for Tall Girls | Should We Try Custom Clothing? Ft. Sumissura

    Why Finding Clothes Is So Hard for Tall Girls | Should We Try Custom Clothing? Ft. Sumissura
    2025/02/27
    As tall girls, we all know the struggle when it comes to fashion, right? 🙄 I mean, we talk about it all the time—long sleeves that barely reach our wrists, pants that refuse to reach our ankles, and don’t even get me started on those ridiculously long crotches. The proportions are outrageous. And it just never seems to end…

    But what if there was a solution?

    Today, I’m chatting with Nancy Peyer, the online marketing specialist and content manager at Sumissura, which is a clothing brand where YOU get to design pieces you wear—we’re talking about measurements all the way down to the tiniest details, like monograms and buttons. Yes, buttons people. 🙌

    I got to ask Nancy questions about how tall girls can create their custom-fit pieces AND how the brand is sustainable (because let’s face it, climate change is NOT A JOKE Y’ALL).
    Tune in to the full episode to hear if custom clothing might just be the solution tall girls have been waiting for!

    2025/02/20

    A big thank you to Sumissura for sponsoring today’s episode.

    Body Dysmorphia.

    When people think about body dysmorphia, they usually picture someone standing in a mirror fixating on certain parts of their body or obsessing over their weight or even just not even fitting into societal standards. But rarely do people associate this with height.

    While many people tell us that our height is a gift, body dysmorphia, sometimes coined as height dysmorphia, is something that tall women struggle with because our height can distort the way we see ourselves. So today, we’re breaking down how body dysmorphia is ruining tall women's lives and how no one seems to give a f***.

    Tune in to the full episode for more on what exactly body dysmorphia looks like in tall women, what causes it, and how people are gaslighting us about it!

    ~~ALSO A DISCLAIMER: I am not saying that any of the people in this episode have body dysmorphia; I’m simply sharing examples of what COULD BE. Take it with a grain of salt; I don’t have the credentials to diagnose anyone :)
