Ideal size for tall girls?

Me too! I'm 6'0" and absolutely adore Alloy! I am wearing them at work now! ::) They are cheap too!

At 247 lbs I am a size 16 that is slightly tight. When I was down to almost 200 I could get into a 12 pretty well. When i was in the 214 rand 16s were too big at gap and old navy. No they are to small almost. I have a small bones though and carry a majority of my weight on my hips, stomach and upper thighs. my ultimate goal is 145 that I was six years ago and did not look too thin

I'm 5'9", 125 lbs, and have anything from size 0 to size 6's in my closet. They all fit.

I have very little booty, and small hips, but not a very defined waist. All the women in my family have the same shape, but I'm the only one who has height.

How much did you weigh at this size? I wear a 4-6 and am 5'10". I'm just curious

When I was tooooo thin- dangerous I wore a 4-6 5'10 1/2 === I think i look best in a 12-14 and you are right- try to find something classy in that size--- Lane Bryant occasionally will have some stylish things as does Lands End (more casual) and they have them in talls-other than that I am always looking for places to shop for my poor 35 inch inseams!!!

I am 6' and have been up and down the scale my whole life. I got to my lowest weight at this height three years ago when I was just about fitting into some size 16s at the Gap and almost 14s at Old Navy (their sizes run large, right?).

I love beautiful clothes but it seems that my ideal size is not within the range of most designers.

So, just curious--for those of you who have been/are tall and at a good weight, what size are you? I met a woman once who was my height, ran every day and had a gorgeous figure and she said she wore a size 16. Rodarte doesn't come in size 16!!

It is difficult if you're long limbed ~ upper and lower torso and are medium or large framed (I'm assuming). Personally I'm 64% or so legs, so my sizing gets a little wonky in my opinion ~ Upper torso (petite body with tall woman attached limbs ~ my arms) vs my lower torso (leggy); Main torso (petite) vs attached limbs (arms and legs of a tall woman), but proportionate all around, less the legs. I simply refer to it as the effects of my ancestors battle for real estate through me.

As a small framed tall woman presently weighing < 120lb my upper torso is attired with some effort with sleeveless petite size 2 - 4 (only still too busty) or the junior size small, with a waistline which is generally more than 4 sizes smaller than my bust ~ which is where I'd generally always been, only now a lot tighter (having reclaimed myself through this journey).

I can oftentimes loathe shopping (for I am always requiring alterations). Alexandre Vauthier is quite a growing favourite of mine with a few of his select designs in his collections ... Just privied Rodarte's official webpage thanks to your mention.

Edited to add: 5 ft 10 close to 183cm

Agree^. Much like my sister ^, I too am tall@a few increments above 6ft and my current weight is 127lbs. I wear a size 4 for my upper torso and 6or 8 for my pants etc - my legs are long though@74% of my body. Unlike my sister, I have a lot more space beneath my bust to my hips, which is where I still have a lot of work to do, to drop the pooch(32") I carry beneath my 25"waist; 32" buttocks; 31" hips; beneath 32C bust. Despite my height, it is fairly obvious where my extra poundage is. Unfortunately we cannot isolate the areas we want the FAT to shed from - I need to continue eating at a deficit+strength training + cardio, until my pooch is GONE - GOAL. lol. I do not look skinny at all and I think a person can look skinny IF they have lost weight beyond their bone frame( like a home that has large windows/rods with small curtains/drapery or small window with oversized curtains/drapery ) - I am a smaller framed woman amongst the small frame, only tall.

ETA: GOAL

Hi fellow tall girls! So excited to find this board! I am six feet tall and currently weigh 168! This is the heaviest I have been since early my freshman year of college. My thinnest was 152 and I was very very thin. I wore a 4-6 in women's clothing at that point, and barely filled out a 32 B cup. I was very strong and muscular, however, and thought I looked awesome at the time, although my boyfriend (now husband) and parents were always very concerned about me. I ran 4 miles a day and probably ate around 1500 calories and downed caffeine to keep my body going. Not sustainable for me.

It is now 7 years later, and as an adult who works full time and is taking birth control pills (I don't care what people say, I didn't have an ounce of cellulite on my thighs until I started taking the darn things and I am always SO hungry) I am fairly content with my size 12. I have a nice hour glass shape and wear a 34 DD. My measurements are 39-30-41. I eat when I am hungry and go to the gym a few times a week. My husband loves that I am more endowed (although admittedly would prefer a smaller stomach--we can't have it all, I suppose).

I would like to get down to about 162--this is the point that i felt my healthiest. I do have large bones, however, so when I weigh less i always look more severe than I think I should (bones jutting out everywhere), and if I get much below 160 I start looking rather bony and all my curves diminish.

It really depends on if you have a little curves or no *kitten* at all! I would say most people are 10-12 at a comfortable weight they can manage without being bulimic or anorexic or over the top. If you want to live your life on appetite suppressants and laxatives maybe a 6 but it's not ideal or needed. Most people look very beautiful and sexy at a 10-12 if they are tall!

Maybe you would like to stop putting down women who might naturally be slim, or god forbid, something other than large. I am 5'10 and have never been over a usa size 6-8 and to suggest someone of that perfectly normal size might have no curves or *kitten* shows to me how deluded people have become about their sizes and weights.i find it absurd so many consider themselves too skinny at anything beneath an overweight number.

I was with you until you starting putting down women who are larger than you. I'm not overweight, but I'm strong and quite happy at the higher end of the healthy BMI range, which is neither absurd nor deluded.

Go Kaleo is overweight at 170 and 5'9" and she's cool with that; hell, I'd be cool with her body too. http://gokaleo.com/2013/05/20/i-am-overweight/

Tall ladies: Sizes vary wildly based on your particular body type and composition. Don't discount a weight or size just because it's smaller than you've been. Get to your goal weight and re-evaluate. Health can come in size 6 and size 14.

I am 6' and have been up and down the scale my whole life. I got to my lowest weight at this height three years ago when I was just about fitting into some size 16s at the Gap and almost 14s at Old Navy (their sizes run large, right?).

Focus on being healthy not what someone else thinks is an idea size!

That being said, if you really care what others think ask for an answer in centimeters or inches. Clothing sizing varies so much from brand to brand in the age of "vanity" sizing.

I agree!! It's nice seeing 'above average' heights in chicks! *it gets lonely up here* LOL

Hi I am really tall ...6ft and I currently weigh 152 pounds ...some think I am looking a little skinny but I honestly turned my fat into muscle so completely transformed my body.

I used to be quite big busted as well and hated it !!! and now a much better size.

My ideal weight is to be about 143 pounds as I want to be a small size 10 (currently mostly 10 now but length I am still 12)

A 'Healthy' BMI for anyone in our category is between "18.5-24.9' I am 20.

Im 6 foot and wieght 152lbs and want to get back to 140-142lbs because 10lbs of fat does make a difference and its been 2 years carrying it around. I have a small frame for my hieght so 140-142 is perfect for me because if I ever was to get up to 170lbs I would look chubby and because thats for a bigger frame person.

omg we weigh the same! I agree you must be like me! I have a really petitie body as well so even 1 kg/1 pound makes the difference! Do you have really long legs too and a long torso? I do really hard to find clothes!

I thought I'd come here to just to say tall girls are so hot

hahah and you still need to wear the heels absofkinglutely!

i am a 6 foot 4 inch male, I still got a few inches on most of you in here But holy crap I absolutely love girls 5'8 and up

I'm 5'11 and a size 14 in US clothes and definitely overweight, not average. I've always fit into a smaller size than it seems I should at my weight though. I'm trying to get back to an 8-10, which is around 165-175 lbs for me.

That's like asking for the ideal size for redheads, or the ideal size for people named Maryann. There is no ideal size.
