I am starting a new feature to this blog. I will feature &amp; review tall clothing I actually buy. I enjoy scouring the web for tall deals, but on the internet things are not always what they seem.  You'll hear which retailers (and which specific items) are good for tall women. And which ones gear their "tall" clothing to the 5'7" women. No offense 5'7"ish women. We love you. We just need longer clothes. And 5'7" is the new average. Ok maybe not statistically, but it feels like it

<img src="http://tallmoms.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/trenchcoat.jpg" alt="trenchcoat" class="pic fl" />So the first item? This tall sized trenchcoat from Old Navy.  A girly trenchcoat seemed like such a good idea. I see them on other people and they look cute. But when I put it on? Inspector Gadget. Seriously. I was bummed. The flaps &amp; buttons on the shoulders are more conspicuous in real life than in the photo. Sizing was an issue too. I am broad in the shoulders, so I usually order up a size. Plus I figured I would be wearing layers, since I live in cold country.  So I got an XL. But it was so big, I just felt frumpy. Problem is, I've tried on other Old Navy coats, &amp; the larges were too confining in the shoulders. Sizing doesn't seem to be consistent between styles. The good news is, the sleeves were plenty long. This is also on clearance right now with their holiday sales. I returned mine, but if you think it may work for you then hurry! They are going quick with this sale.
