- What is up with all shirts being long enough to fit a woman who is 8 feet tall? I understand that everyone still wears low-rise jeans and so the shirts need to be a bit longer, but I seriously can't even try on half the shirts in the stores because they're really long. And I even have a pretty long torso. They always hit me about mid-bum and since I'm curvy they just look terrible because either they're super clingy or if I try them on so that they're large enough to fit my bum, very tent-like. Where do they hit on the normal-torsoed, non-curvy girl - mid-thigh? I bought a couple shirts last week that I like, but am kind of thinking about taking to a tailor to get hemmed a couple of inches shorter.
- We went to the Cape a couple of weekends ago and I decided I might not really mind so much being one of those ladies who leaves the city for the summer to stay at the beach house with the nanny and the kids and spends her days at the beach, getting spa treatments and lunching with friends while hubby works and comes out on weekends. Yes, I just deducted about 500 points from my feminist score.

Dear Kelly,
I can't feel bad for you about the shirts, lol. I spent the last 30+ years of my life living in the world of short shirts, pants that just come to the top of the ankle, and no 'tall' sizes. I think you're right. You'll need to take them to the tailor. Meanwhile, I'll be wearing shirts that actually fit me for once ;)
Sincerely,
Your 6' friend Cambria
It's 'cause "tunic" styles are "in."
Try women's petite sizes.
I am short-waisted.
I so feel your pain.
