As a teenage girl of 5ft 9, I loved experimenting with clothing. It wasn’t very difficult then because I could wear clothing made for young women. As I got older, my style evolved and the difficulty arose when I grew much taller than the average lady. I stood just over 6ft tall. I wanted to put on quality premium outfits however, each time I walked into a clothing store, I felt like I needed to shop from the men’s range rather than women’s because the size and fit was all wrong. These beautiful clothes were designed for ladies 5ft 7 or less. If only these brands could work in 4 more inches of fabric into their designs.
Shopping online wasn’t much fun either. Trying to find the right dress made me feel like the prince in Cinderella’s story. I know just how exhausted he must have felt trying to find that one girl to fit into the glass slipper. I would order and return many outfits before I would find one that I could make work. Unlike the prince who had to do this just once to find his perfect princess, I on the other hand had to go through this process each time I needed a new dress not only that, I made do with whatever was available. I fell out of love with clothing and fashion. I stopped trying and this had a big impact on my social life.
This challenge drove me to learn to make my own clothes and where possible, modify purchased clothing to fit my height and shape. I now have 100% control over my style without worrying about my height. Being able to make my designs or any designs I love has given me so much confidence. I now feel elegant and stylish because I believe that my tallness is sexy again.
