Need help finding Tall Women's Casual Shirts

My daughter has long arms and needs tall shirts. She's never found any in local stores. I didn't believe her and I told her I could find some. Well, I can't. I've done internet searches and found a few places that sell business shirts and jackets with long sleeves. I've found a few online stores that sell tall women's clothes that are more casual but they are VERY expensive and offer clothes for an older crowd. She's 18. For instance, a Tall long sleeve T-shirt at one of these stores would cost $60 to $80. Yikes.

Has anyone seen women's tall (shirts not pants) in less expensive stores?

1. Can't say that I have

I've seen pants for tall women but I can't say that I've seen shirts. I will say, though, that some women's tops run towards longer sleeves--many come down to my fingertips. You might just have some luck trying on a bunch of different tops to find the ones with longer sleeves.

On edit--a quick search reveals that Lands End has shirts in women's tall sizes:

3. this may sound strange

try men's outdoor magazines-they have womens and childrens stuff. The prices are just OK, but the materials are quality and the sizing is all over the place

6. Thanks...they don't have small and talls but they have lots

of other selections. I'll try to see if some of the styles fit smaller. Thank you.

10. Yes, I did a perfunctory look

and every shirt I saw only had mediums and up in Talls. I'll have my daughter look more thoroughly.

8. I'm ticked at Penney's though.

I found a pair of cords that I love. But I want them in Tall. Except Tall starts at size 8 and I need a 6T. No such thing. Grrr!!!!!

And I'm not a stick! You'll have to trust me on that.

7. Tall women's clothing is a joke.

I'm almost 5'10" with long torso, legs and arms. But apparently not long enough. Misses clothing is a tad short but tall clothing makes me look like I'm a 10 year old dressing up in daddy's clothes. It's maddening. I wish I could help you. I really do! Sorry.

11. Unless it's online

I'm embarrassed asking for talls. I took pity on her since she hates to shop and I told her I'd find some shirts. Well, I wear shorts so it's very embarrassing to ask for talls. I get funny looks when I ask. :blush:
