Lands' End tall clothing is almost exclusively knitted fabric. I heard this is because knits are easier and cheaper to manufacture than woven fabric. But it often results in an ugly product. So many of the Lands' End tall women's clothes would be great if they'd just make them in better fabrics. And if they'd actually add length to the torso the way they say they do. Half the tall dresses come with a waistline that is practically "empire." You end up looking like Holly Hobby.

Nordstrom.com always has a huge selection and good quality, and many items on sale. Even if you are a hard-to-fit size, there is usually something that will work. Their inventory is huge. Service is great.

Sadly the tall women's clothing at AnnTaylor.com has declined in fabric quality, tailoring detail, and sizing. Often they are not adding extra length in the torso anymore.

JCrew Talls is cheating tall women by not adding extra length to torso anymore. Fabric quality has also gone down. Variety of styles has also decreased.

JJill tall women's clothes are better quality fabric and manufacture than most. The fit is pretty good except they sometimes do not add extra torso length, so you end up with an "empire" waist dress you weren't expecting. Their styles are all very casual like you plan to walk on a beach all day, with breaks for yoga and pottery class.

Long Tall Sally still has the best selection of tall women's clothing, shoes, and accessories anywhere. Their styling has improved. Now if only they'd lower prices a bit and use better fabrics!
