I have a long torso and I need longer shirts, tops, blouses. I have been increasingly doing all my shopping online. I just tried shirts on til I found some I loved. I need more of a strategy now; cuts, styles, brands or stores that cater to long people.
Could you help? Have you run into a similar problem?

I’m 6’3” and buy a lot of stuff from JC Penney’s. Their men’s tall selection is excellent. I can’t speak for the women’s section.
Thank You! I just went shopping, so fun! And I bookmarked all the sites.
I never had a problem until “hip huggers” came back in fashion. Now I have to buy “Not Your Daughters Jeans” AND find long shirts and hope they don’t shrink. I feel ya @rosehips!
There are a bunch of LDS (Mormon) companies that make extra long T-shirts to provide more coverage. One example is Shade www.shadeclothing.com. Google things like “modest Mormon clothing” for more examples.
@answerjill Ooo that would be a good idea for a few of my friends!
@Judi Lol I’ve heard that phrase before haven’t seen their product though. I will have to check it out.
sorry they are mainly a guy store
I have the same problem! Thanks for ideas, everyone! :)
@woodcutter I actually had a favorite shirt from there. But it was a while ago and I forgot about it. The store does have a women’s section and while simple serviceable esp for an outdoorsy girl like me..
@augustlan I had forgotten that I liked Eddie Bauer, we don’t have one here and sometimes things like that drop off the radar. no wonder I shop online.
Thanks for all the suggestions. Yay. Glad I inadvertently helped you as well @RandomGirl
@rosehips Deluth Trading is one of my favorite catalog stores. Because a lot of their stuff is rather pricey I have to be careful whenever i shop there. Their fire hose work pants look like the end all in rugged work clothes and outdoor wear, but I will always get the “Dickeys” brand canvas pants, almost the same thing for 20 bucks, more or less. Someday I will go and do it. One more thing to add to a bucket list I suppose. Having long shirts are more handy than people realize.
outdoorsy huh?
@woodcutter Dickey’s didn’t work for me I like the look but I have a butt and apparently they aren’t meant for curves. I was wondering if the fire hose were the same. But I am wishy washy over the price for an experiment.
So let me know about that bucket list will ya?
Sure. Get me in nature and I am bound to relax and have fun.
