I recently discovered MLtailor. They are a Chinese company that will custom make special occasion dresses to your measurements. Custom sizes cost an extra $10, but may be totally worth it for us tall women. They are the factory, so their prices are great and they will ship them directly to you. However, I have never ordered from this company, so can’t testify of their quality.

Here are their mother-of-the bride dresses.

Diana is 49, a size 14 and wants a dress that will compliment brown bridesmaid dresses, but also look great on her fair skin.  She wants a long, non-clingy dress. Here are a few I love:

Satin Mother-of-the-Bride Suit (2 pieces) in 4 color choices.

Flattering A-Line Satin Gown in your choice of 26 colors.

A-line V-neck Floor Taffeta Cocktail Dress in 26 color choices.

In high school I wore my purple polka dot shorts until they were threadbare. I’m sure everyone got sick and tired of seeing me wear them.  Over the years, I’ve had a difficult time finding polka dots clothing that actually fits my tall frame. If you love polka dots as much as me, today’s your lucky day as these items will fit tall women.

• Long Torso Polka Dot Swimsuit 
• Vigotti  Polka Dot Heels to size 13
• Polka Dot Tunic
• Swirling Dots Skirt – custom make in your size and length.
• Jersey Polka Dot Dress (choose long sizes)
• Polka Dot Top – custom sized to your measurements.
• Betsey Johnson Anchor Tote
• Polka Dot Palazzo pants - 35″ – 40″ inseam
• Tall Polka Dot Dress - lengths from 57″-67″ long.

Aw shucks, I feel like the popular kid for once!   With this award, the rule is that I have to tell you 7 uncommon facts about myself.  Do I really have to stop at 7? I feel so uncommon that I could go on for hours, but really, I don’t want to bore you, so I’ll stop at 7. The next rule is that I have to nominate 15 other bloggers for this award, so pay attention and see if you are on the list below.

7 Uncommon Things about Me – the Tall Snob

1. I grew up in a fruit farming family. I spent all of my Summers working in the cherry orchards with my Grandma, Dad, siblings, uncles and cousins.  It was extremely hard work and most of the time I hated it. From the time I was 8 years old, I would save my money all Summer and buy my school clothes each Fall.  I learned the value of hard work and the value of bargain shopping.

2. I love to travel. We didn’t have a lot of money, but I saved all of my money to go to Europe for a Summer trip after my junior year of high school. This started my travel obsession and I worked at Southwest Airlines during college. That was the best college job ever. Every Saturday morning I would fly somewhere within a 2 hour flight radius, spend the day and fly home that night. What a dream! Then I became a travel agent for a while after I got married. I sure miss those travel discounts.

3. The summer after I graduated from high school, my brother and I headed to Alaska for a Summer job. We worked in a fish factory during salmon season. It was an extremely stinky job, but we had our fun times too. My roommate and my brother fell in love and got married a year later.

4. I have a short daughter. Yes, you read that right. My husband and I have 4 tall boys and we adopted an Asian daughter in 2010. She is the princess of our family and the boys are the court jesters. From the time I was a teen, I always had the feeling that I would adopt a child someday and this is one of the best decisions of my life.

5. I used to be a dancer. As a child I was a Jazzette (my brother called them Spazettes). I learned Jazz and drill team styles. At the age of 14, I switched from dancing to sports. I think it was more of the pressure from others because I was so tall.  I must say that sadly I’ve lost all of my dancing skills. I still enjoy dancing with my kids, but I look pretty goofy.

6. I have never drank alcohol. Yes, it’s true, but it’s part of my religion and I choose to follow it.

7. I am obsessed with Hawaii – both traveling there and everything tropical.  It’s a freaky and strange obsession. In fact, I love tropical styling so much that I decorate my Colorado home with tropical styles.  At this point of my life, I figure if you like something, just go for it!. Who cares what anyone else thinks! I even have a Hawaiian decorating website that my teens help my update.

This one:

And this one:

While I deliberated, the latter sold out (boo!).  So I ordered the former but decided I didn’t love them enough to warrant the high price tag.

So I mourned for a while and then lo and behold, I got a notification from Zappos that the Tularosa was back in stock in my size!  Score!  I ordered them; they came within a few days (more than 2 less than 5) and I LOVE them with a capital L.  Here they are on my big feet.

They are very well made, comfortable, and you can fold them up or down.  Of course I’m a bit bummed that I can’t wear them for another 5 months or so, but since they were on sale, it was well worth buying them off season.  There are a few pairs still on sale and many styles come in sizes up to 12.  Uggs rarely go on sale so when they do, you have to snatch them up fast!

Have you splurged on anything fun or off season lately?

Jenny’s body stats and criteria:

She is 5’11″ and in her mid-thirties. She needs a formal looking dress and it also needs to be easy to pack for traveling. She wants her back covered. The wedding is in the afternoon and the party afterwards will last through the rest of the day and includes dinner and dancing. Jenny has a long, lean figure and is a size 8 with blonde hair and prefers gold undertones. All items also need to be shipped to Canada.

Here is the first look for our Tall Cinderella:

Pictured Above:

The Audrey Tall Dress in coral or white, figure flattering and stylish. $89

Naturalizer Gold Sandals - (available in tan too) $60
We know you prefer no heels, but feel like such a formal wedding deserves a little heel.
Because you will be dancing, we went with a comfortable brand and the metallic shine really dresses up the look.

Pearl and Cubic Zirconia Necklace - high end look without high price $60

Satin Clutch – simply elegant $45

Total price = $254 (should leave you a cushion for shipping)

More women’s tall outfit options are coming soon.

If you’re not sure what peplum is, it’s a short overskirt that is usually attached to a fitted jacket, blouse or dress. The great thing about peplum styled clothing is that it brings the waist in and then flares out dramatically – thus helping create an hourglass figure.

I set out to find tall sized clothing items in the peplum style and failed, but I did come up with a few items that are longer length and will most likely be long enough for tall women.

• Kimono Sleeve Peplum Tunic
• Ruffled Peplum Tank
• Custom Made Dots Peplum Top - in your measurements
• Mark & James Peplum Skirt - 29″ long
• Black Peplum Pencil Skirt 25.5″ long
