Tall Personal Shopping: Tall Dresses for an Active Mature Lady

I received a tall personal shopping request via Facebook for a 79 year old tall lady looking for size 18T in dresses that she can wear to church. She also commented that she is an active lady. I am so happy to see that we have such a wide range of ages visiting our websites.

Well, I have bad news and good news. First the bad news. There aren't a whole lot of size 18T dresses in stock right now and the ones that I have found aren't very age appropriate for you. The good news is that I have put together some separtes in skirts, jackets and blouses that would work well for you.

Classic Church - the first tall outfit is a conservative suit in a bright blue color. It can be worn to a variety of events from church to weddings.

• Worthington Pick Stitch Trim Tall Blazer - JCPenney 
• Worthington Belted High Waist Tall Skirt - JCPenney
• Cambrie Top -Soft Surroundings Outlet - wear it tucked in of course
• Ros Hommerson Shoes -Zappos

Mature Moxie is an outfit that starts with a figure flattering skirt that can be worn with a variety of tops and sweaters. Add a gorgeous chiffon, flowy top. Throw on some matching accessories and you've got a mature, yet sophistacted look that will be a classic for years.

• Tall Flared Skirt - JCPenney
• Sancerre Shirt - Soft Surroundings
• Ombre Duster Earrings - The Limited

• Mixed Metal Sparkle And Chains Necklace - The Limited

Tall Personal Shopping: Long Evening Gown

I received a personal shopping request via Facebook for a long evening gown with long sleeves in a small tall. She's like it to not be frumpy. :) I don't have any specific of height or her inseam length. Have a price range would be helpful too.

When submitting personal shopping requests, I need height, inseam lengths and as much info you can give me, such as where you are going to wear the item.

As you already know, finding something to fit your arms and be long enough, is a monumental task. Plus, finding it proportioned correctly for tall bodies are even harder. I don't understand why fashion designers don't give measurements on most items. It drives me batty.

 I'm sorry, but you may have to settle for just close enough. Maybe I need to design some long evening gowns and prom dresses! Here are the best options I can find:

ALICE by Temperley Long Opal Dress 60" long

Calvin Klein Collection Savea B Dress in white or black, 62" long

Halston - Asymmetric satin-jersey gown - model is 5'11" tall

Yigal Azrouel Embellished Gown 60" long

ALICE by Temperley Caprice Dress 60" long

For the rest of us, tall shift dresses are easily dressed up with sophisticated jewelry and a pair of heels. They make fabulous holiday dresses!

Another look is to add a turtleneck or crisp white shirt under the dress and if desired, finish off with a belt around the waist.

Ponte Knit Tall Dress - Perfect for Travel

If you are a business traveler, you know how important it is to have clothes that resist wrinkle and are easy to wash. This ponte knit tall dress from Long Tall Sally will be your go-to dress for Fall. This fabric has more structure than regular knit, so it skims rather than clings to your body, making it much more forgiving. The elbow length sleeves are a nice modest option, so you don't have to worry about bare shoulders, yet you can still wear a sweater, or jacket over it, to add more wardrobe options. This is one tall dress you will wear for years!

ModCloth - Vintage Style Clothes - Longer Lengths

Thank heavens that more clothing choices exist for tall women! High school was absolutely brutal for me. I had a terrible time finding pants, shirts, shorts or anything long enough. Now, I have no problem finding clothes are long enough and stylish clothes are no longer out of reach.

Sometimes I find longer length clothing in unexpected places. One such store is ModCloth. They specialize in new - yet vintage style clothing. Many items are in longer lengths and will work for tall women. Here are a few of my favorites:

Drawing Room Dress - elegant long maxi dress in lengths of 61.5" - 63". This dress would be gorgeous for formal style weddings. Dress it up with fancy jewelry. Note: They also have lots of longer length maxi dresses.

Frilled to Meet You Tunic - flirty, yet sophisticated. Pair over a pencil skirt, skinny jeans, or leggings.

Trail of Clouds Skirt

- this skirt is an eye turner. Shorter in front and longer in back. It exudes confidence.
