So far from having it tough
Brand Hat/Cap, taller woman have a whole range of styles and accessories to try.
Your thigh muscles are seconds away from snapping like old knicker elastic. You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday--the one that's in your handbag, which you cannot unzip because you only have one free hand. So you take your hand off the door and scrabble about in your bag until you find a ball of paper that would barely cover a gnat's arse. You smooth it out and fluff it up, but it is still only slightly larger than your thumbnail. At this point someone pushes open the door because you've taken your hand away to open your bag. The door hits your handbag, which thumps you in the chest and you and your bag topple backward against the toilet cistern--which is disconcertingly wet.
When it comes to clothing, tall women can have it tough. The majority of High Street fashion retailers stock clothing for the more averagely sized female, leaving taller women to suffer with ill-fitting sizes or unsuitable styles.
Then pick out an oversized necklace to wear with a plunging neckline - it's a style that can be perfect for a night out with the girls or simply heading to the office.
And while winter brings cold, miserable weather, it also brings a whole new range of accessories - scarves, gloves, hats and ear muffs.
Oversized handbags, chunky belts and bold jewellery can really accentuate a taller, fuller figure.
And add some contrast to your outfit by wearing a bold belt in a contrasting colour and teaming it up with a matching handbag.
And while many stores now offer a collection aimed at smaller females
Alife Women Shoes, the taller woman is left with a limited choice.
Ahhhh, relief. More relief. But then your thighs begin to shake, not helped by the fact that your left arm is stretched to its fullest extent trying to keep the door shut. You'd love to sit down but you didn't have time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper down, so you hold 'The Position' as a quake that would register an eight on the Richter scale travels through your aching thighs. To take your mind off the pain, you reach for what you now discover is an empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind, you can hear your mother's voice saying: "Darling, if you'd cleaned the seat first, you would have KNOWN there was no toilet paper!"
These stores aim to address the problems that taller women face, with a collection of styles that will make the most of their higher stature. One tip that fashion experts constantly extol, and which is particularly relevant to taller women, is the use of accessories.
That's not to suggest that taller woman are left with little choice but to make their own clothes or some other equally depressing thought. Instead many specialist shops, including the Long Tall Sally brand
Shox TL3 Men Shoes, have popped up selling a wide collection of styles aimed at taller women.
As well as dresses, the range of tall women's jeans can be a real disappointment. Any fashion fan will tell you how important a good pair of jeans can be and why it's worth spending extra cash to secure the perfect fit.
Imagine if you're a tall, slim size 10 looking for a dress. There will be a large selection but, with the average women measuring 5ft 5" in height, it's somewhat inevitable that if you're closer to six foot in height, a typical short dress is going to be just too short.
