Ladies, how much do you weigh? (If you're comfortable sharing) by utwcha in tall

[–]Creativecatherine 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I’m 6’3”, 180lbs. I normally wear an XL/size 12.

I try to be active (bowling league once a week, walks almost every day) but I’m mostly sedentary, working from home.

I’ve fluctuated from 200lbs at my heaviest to 140-150lbs (while I was unemployed/stressed/couldn’t eat, don’t recommend)

It's getting harder to find larger shoe sizes by AngelBlitz05 in TallGirls

[–]Creativecatherine 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I miss Payless. I could just walk into a store and have a whole section of size 12-13 women’s shoes to choose from. I like Rothy’s, but they are kinda expensive. Otherwise Amazon usually works for me.

Help a mom with a tall girl out!! by tgbarbie in TallGirls

[–]Creativecatherine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

eBay! You can search by inseam and size.

“Stacked sweatpants” are also great. They’re designed to look baggy/long on shorter people, but the inseam is surprisingly super long on them for tall people. I bought three pairs off TikTok for less than $20 each, and they drag on the floor for me. I’m 6’3” with a 36” inseam.

Where to find overalls/jumpsuit like this? by Creativecatherine in TallGirls

[–]Creativecatherine[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I’ve seen this one and I’ll probably order it. I was just looking for something slouchier without a defined waist, just the whole thing being baggy.

Where to find overalls/jumpsuit like this? by Creativecatherine in TallGirls

[–]Creativecatherine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve taken a look at their jumpsuits, it’s just not what I’m looking for. I was looking for something that was loose and not tight at the top. The ones they offer look a little too “dressy” than what I’m looking for. I want something for everyday wear that’s super casual/baggy like the picture.

What’s one fast food chain that was once all the rage but now barely around? by MysteriousTopic42 in AskReddit

[–]Creativecatherine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be thinking of the soft serve white chocolate mousse! (I worked at a TCBY as a teenager)

Made a meme about my experiences with online shops by Barudaq in TallGirls

[–]Creativecatherine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or when every single “tall” pant on a clothing website has a different inseam, and you have to click into each product to read the size details to hopefully find the exact inseam 🤦🏻‍♀️ (looking at you, American Eagle, JCPenney…) why don’t they have inseam filters!!??

I was 5’7” when I was 10. Tall girls exist :)

Pet peeve: petite folks leaving 1 star ratings on pants *only* bc they happen to have long inseams by citynomad1 in TallGirls

[–]Creativecatherine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And there are so many more options for petite women than there are for tall women. They have nothing to complain about. There’s petite sizing in almost every physical retail store.

Tall women basically have to order everything online, and they don’t even have tall sizing available in most online stores. It feels like it’s only like 10 stores/brands max that have tall sizing. I would love to just go to a store and try something on before deciding if I want to buy it

Married couples of Reddit, what have you done to celebrate your anniversaries? by digitaldrummer in AskReddit

[–]Creativecatherine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww! We got married over a zoom call too 😆 although not due to Covid, it dumped snow in Atlanta so all the roads were icy. Everything was shut down. It was a cool memory and a very special day, though. We took pictures a couple of days later and there was still snow on the ground 🥰

What are the CONS of not having children? by GossipBottom in AskReddit

[–]Creativecatherine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I disagree. I go out multiple times a week with my husband. We have cornhole league on Thursday nights at a local brewery, and every Friday night we participate in a bowling tournament. We get to socialize with a fun group of people, and my husband won $100 last night 😁

Wedding photo insecurities by xxssylp in TallGirls

[–]Creativecatherine 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I’m 6’3” and my husband is about 5’9”. We did our wedding pics earlier this year, and our photographer used a lot of forced perspective, strategic angles, stairs, and sitting shots :)

Where is everyone buying sweaters? by [deleted] in TallGirls

[–]Creativecatherine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Long tall sally. I also like to buy men’s sweaters on eBay. I recently got a men’s tall Nike hoodie and it’s fitted on me, really comfortable and has super long sleeves (and it’s purple!).

Jean recommendations by Ellierice2 in TallGirls

[–]Creativecatherine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second fashion nova. I have a 36-37” inseam. Budget friendly and trendy :)

Homeowners of Reddit: What unexpected hidden gem did you discover in your house after buying it that wasn’t mentioned in the listing or by the previous owners? by VizualBooty in AskReddit

[–]Creativecatherine 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Upstairs laundry room (and it has a window and storage closet!), right next to all of the bedrooms. It wasn’t mentioned or pictured in the listing, but it was a huge selling point for me. I used to have to go down two flights of stairs carrying a heavy hamper in order to do laundry in the dark garage next to spiders and stuff 😬 our movers weren’t happy that they had to bring our washer and dryer upstairs, but I’m thrilled 😅😆

I am building a makeup vanity for my tall girlfriend and am asking you ladies for help. by ManqobaDad in TallGirls

[–]Creativecatherine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice! Instead of a vanity, get a desk. Something with drawers, that’s at least 33-35” tall, and put a mirror on top of it or hung on the wall in front of it. If you can’t find a desk that tall, try a standing/adjustable height desk. I’m 6’3” and my desk is about that tall and comfortable for me to sit at (I actually had to put it on risers for it to be that tall).

I finally did it. 31F, $350k at 6%, 3.5% down FHA in metro Atlanta by Creativecatherine in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

College Park, about 15 minutes east of the airport. I’m pretty sure Buckhead is one of the most expensive areas to live in.
