Layering Shirts for Tall Women

Every tall woman needs some great long layering shirts. These are usually made of t-shirt fabric and can be long sleeved or shirt sleeves. These are great for wearing alone or underneath any item of clothing that may be slightly too short, such as a sweater or a blazer. Layering shirts are what allows tall women to extend our wardrobe choices into regular size items we love when tall sizes are not available. These shirts should be long enough that they can stretch to the bottom of our hips, and yet can be scrunched up to a shorter length if desired. These layering shirts can be plain or have a row of lace as a bottom hem. Either one is fine. I recommend you purchase one in black, and white and if your budget affords a couple of brighter colors that you love.

One of the best new products for summer is the "Yummie Tummie" tank top. They were shown on Oprah as one of "Oprah's Favorite Things for Summer." This tank top is a body-contouring shaper designed to be seen while secretly slimming your waist - beautiful tank and shaper all in one. Wear it out or tucked - either way, no more "muffin tops." They now come in a longer version with 3" inches of added length. The longer length "yummie tummie" tank tops below come in 3 different style and in many color choices in sizes 0-16 for $62-$72 .

 

 I came across a product that is extremely helpful for tall girls. This summer I discovered "the hip t". Invented by 2 moms that were sick of their panties peaking out from under their jeans. They created a band of t-shirt material to go around the waist. It fits over your jeans and under your shirts. It is similar to "Bella bands" which are worn by pregnant women. You will love having the coverage without the extra heat or bulk of having to wear a full shirt. They have expanded their product line and now offer the orignal "hip t" in lace (3 colors), basic "hip t" (12 colors)and a zebra print "hip t".

We love the added stretch in the arms and torso area as they are long enough for tall women. Pink Mascara has FREE SHIPPING with $150 purchase.
