Why do most women's plus size clothes always come in tall sizes?

I mean it%26#039;s annoying. I%26#039;ve noticed most overweight women are shorter than 5%26#039;7 and yet all the good looking jeans in plus sizes are meant for taller women. Same goes with the dresses and capri pants and shirts. It%26#039;s annoying. And shoes, someone needs to come out with a shoe line meant for bigger size girls. Like boots, I love wearing boots. But , I can never get them to zipper up my big ol calf.

Why do most women%26#039;s plus size clothes always come in tall sizes?

I%26#039;m not plus-sized and I have that problem too. I%26#039;m 5%26#039;3%26quot;, but I have shorter legs that other people my height, so when I buy short or petite pants, they%26#039;re still too long.
Reply:My mom has the same problem. She is short and a little overweight. She is a size 12 petite so try to find pants that are marked with petite. Good luck.
Reply:The reasoning behind these clothes designers is that most often times, a plus sized woman%26#039;s weight will be balanced out by her height, therefore they accustom longer jeans to fit better.But no worries! I believe you can get plus size jeans at most stores in short too....... they do make jeans for all body types.
Reply:Since when are they made for tall plus sizes?


I wish I could shop where you do, because all my jeans are too short unless I can find sz. 16 Levis in talls and I%26#039;m 5%26#039;9%26quot;
Reply:Check around. Your average department store is directed towards misses and juniors. Check stores like Lane Bryant, stores that cater to plus sized women. They usually have petite lengths. If you still have trouble, I would recommend finding a good seamstress to take the length off the jeans, capris, skirts, etc. Adjusting hems isn%26#039;t that costly.
Reply:its not just plus size woman who have a problem finding clothes that are short enough my mom is only 5%26#039;2 and like 100 pounds, but she can never find jeans short enough, the best thing to do is get them tailored to fit you,in length, everything is ment for tall people, im tall myself so i dont have this problem but it is a very common one, tailoring jeans and pants is easy and finding shorter sirts isnt that hard, but its alot of shopping around, and for the boot perdicament, idn
Reply:stop being lazy and lose weight so you can fit in regular clothes. instead of complaining about your problems you should be finding solutions for them.
