Sleeve Lengths?


Guest DawnK

Recommended Posts

One of the things I've always loved about women(young girls/ladies mainly) was that many of the items they wore appeared to have sleeves that were too long. But it appears that the clothing I buy has sleeves that are about 2 to 3 inches short on me (I'd guess I have about a 34/35 inch sleeve in male clothing). Anyway, being a plus size as well, does anyone know of a place that sells Tall Plus size stuff?

Another peeve I have is who thought that most womens clothing should have 3/4 sleeves and pant legs??? I hate seeing something I love then finding out it been butchered. :banghead:

Can I relate. I go to thrift stores all over the area and rarely do I find jeans that fit my 6'1" height. 90+% of them are too short. I don't wear long sleeves here in the desert.

Lane Bryant sales plus size but they don't think someone can be big AND tall.

I like the 3/4 sleeves when they are meant to be 3/4 sleeves. Otherwise, I have been really bummed at sleeve lengths in general. I have even tried buying stuff from Old Navy's Tall collection and had this problem. One thing I do is make sure not to put my tops in the dryer. This has helped a little bit.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with a problem... that doesn't sound right, Sorry to hear that I'm not the only one with a problem... that's better. I don't know what it is with the fashion industry. Seems they all think that the larger your waist gets, the shorter your legs and arms get.

I grew up in Phoenix and graduated High School in Page Arizona and I almost always wore long sleeve shirts. I didn't like getting burned (tanned to most folks). I would love to get back there. Haven't been since 82.

Oh well, back on topic, I guess I'll just continue to buy cotton shirts and keep pulling the sleeves down.

Ever try walking around with your arms tucked up inside your sleeves? It doesn't work - don't bother. A lot of girls learn to sew - it's another way to get the right fit. Sleeveless dresses are really the best answer I have.

The other day, right of the thrift store shelf, I found a dress that I loved and the sleeves are exactly the right length for me! I bet the poor girl who bought it originally was really miffed at the sleeves being too long!

Love, Kat

I'd agree with Kathleen, sleeveless or like a capped shoulder top/dress is the way I usually go, don't have to even think about the sleeve length... Recently bought a few short sleeve tunic tops which I'm loving!

      I haven't taken blockers since the surgery.

      Good morning   well its big bike week this week American/Canadian made. Followed almost immediately with metric bike week.  And let’s not forget the Myrtle Beach Classic golf tournament last week.  Our business has been very busy. So much so I need to leave earlier to make certain I get my work done before I have too many people in the tpstore and can’t get it done.   Hi ho silver and away   Willow

      I guess this was commonplace in females. But if your prostate gland is still in place this can contribute to urinal difficulties too.

      https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/05/15/peru-chooses-bigotry-medical-services     The Health Ministry tried to put the best face on this unscientific gibberish of a decree, but it won't diminish the harm it will do to the Pervian trans community.  They undoubtedly already suffer from severe discrimination and bigotry in a very macho-opriented society.   Carolyn Marie

      I'd never heard of it until reading this.  From the thread title I thought it had something to do with the state of Idaho.  But perhaps combined with something about Hobbits, which seemed odd.  My brain goes in weird directions.

      I had my surgery 11 years ago, and yes, I too find it much more of an urgent thing than it ever was before.  One possible culprit is going to be T blockers if you are still on them, also the urethral sphincter which holds the pee back is closer to the urethral opening now and more subject to stimulation. When we gotta go we gotta goooooo!!

      I notice that the Wikipedia article does not mention the U.S.A. which I can understand a bit.  The entire month of June here is Pride Month for all the organizations and is tied to the 1969 Stonewall Inn riots in New York and also our medical authorities are also not tied as thoroughly to the WHO as they are to the American Psychological and American Psychiatric Associations which write the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health which is generally in line with the WHO which does not play as big a part in our medical practices here.  The WHO does not impact us the way it does the other world countries which is why we are in the dark about the day.  Ironically though, one of the U.S. States is named Idaho which sadly is one of the most conservative and frustrating to the U.S. LGBTQ Community.   The day is international though in the sense of other European and Southern Hemisphere countries it seems.

      Hmm. Must have been that pesky 'International' word which made me assume that it was well known! I only became aware of it myself last year.   Brief history: May 17th is the day IDAHOBIT is acknowledged as it is the anniversary of when in 1990 the World Health Organization declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. It was conceived in 2004 and first celebrated in 2005. It has gone on to include trans folk in 2009 and bi folk in 2015.   International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia - Wikipedia

      A year and a half post op. I've noticed that once the urge to pee hits, I can only hold it for about 15 minutes or so until it gets to the point where I feel like I'm going to piss myself. I used to be able to hold it a lot longer (as I  remember it).  I know my urethra is a bit shorter now, but I don't think it is enough to account for this. Am I imagining it?

      What a great moment @Vidanjali! It's always so cool knowing people are reading you in a way you want to be seen.

      It's also networking.  Sometimes jobs come along because someone knows someone else - these older people might know someone.  "Hey, Ashley," someone might say,"My nephew is looking for love. He likes tall women. Whatcha think? Can he call you?"   Don't discount their ability to match make.  It is about networking.

      He is simply doing to get more votes. He held a Trump for trans during his first run and found out the majority of his voters were against us so he simply followed the crowd.
