Too Tall!

[Linda K.]

I am 6 - 1 and in heels, well you can do the math. I am currently looking for a nice pair of flats for around the house while doing chores but I do like a nice pair of heels while wearing skirts and dresses. So my question is, how do you deal with being tall while trying to be passable at the same time?

[Diane426]

Im 5.12 I was told and I finally believed this forum to just own it and go for it. So glad I did.

[Sandi Beech]

My daughter is about 6 ft without shoes so heels make her pretty tall. She mostly uses flats or low heals as she does not need the height. Regardless, she obviously passes despite being quite tall.

Sandi

[AngelaYVR]

You just don't worry about being passable, easy peasy! I'm 6' even and always wear heels (normally 2.5 - 3" for daily things) and my height is never an issue.

[Leslie Mary S]

I to am six even in bare feet, I wear my heels as needed. normally 1.5 to 2,5 but I have some 4" heels. They go on my feet just fine and get worn as needed. I just bought some size 12 Amazon essential Prime flats at a fair price.

[prene]

I wish I was shorter. easier to buy dresses that fit and I just want to blend in

[Kris Burton]

I always found tall women attractive. From my 5'7" point of view it was always something I admired in both women and men. So I say go for it, get as high a heels as you like. I'm sure there are many who would find you more than passable

[CharlotteCD]

I'm basically 6ft5, and have a torso to match. I've given up on the idea of passing in anything other than a headshot or waist down.

[Lana Mae]

There are many women who are over 6 feet tall! Dress your best and go for it! There is a commercial on TV and the couple are dancing! The woman is a head taller than the man! Tall women really exist! Get out there, you won't regret it! Hugs Lana Mae

[Stevann]

I'm 6'5" and have been out in 4" heels. You just hold your head high, and DO IT.

[alwayshave]

Linda, I'm 6'2, and I know I'm not passing so I just wear what I like. I don't wear 5" heels, but I do wear 1-3" heels.

[kimdl93]

Around 6’2” as well. I dress to look nice and blend in and often notice other women around my height. Not many, granted, but its rare for me to go out in any busy place without seeing at least a few other women of my height. And besides, I do enjoy being out in the real world.

[Krisi]

re: "So my question is, how do you deal with being tall while trying to be passable at the same time?"

You wear flats. Most really tall women do the same.

[Aunt Kelly]

Six feet is tall, for a woman, not at all unheard of, but not less than 1 in 100 women are six feet or more. In other words, we stand out. Since "passing" is a myth, and "blending" is next to impossible for a women of such height, embrace and accept. You should be who you are. Honestly, a smile and lady-like comportment are easier to accomplish and far more effective than trying to pass or blend.

[GretchenM]

Aunt Kelly is right. Passing is a myth. A trans acquaintance says, "I just do it because that is who I am." She is 7' 4", but does not wear heels. Sometimes she must duck going through doorways. I'm 5'8" so you can imagine what it looks like when we are standing and talking, especially when I am in partial male mode and she is in her usual female presentation. Must blow up the male and female expectation of size differences in the minds of people who expect the tall one of a couple to be the male.

[Michaela Jane]

I am 6'3" and was in a grocery store today in "stealth" mode, femme shorts, femme sneakers, femme tee and the usual underdressing. A lovely young lady behind me in the checkout line had only one item so I let her in front of me. She was as tall as me so I ain't worried about being tall anymore.

[Cheryl T]

I'm 6' also.
When I began going out I was very nervous about my height and my love of heels made that worse. It took a little time but you just have to exude confidence. No matter what you wear, no matter where you go you must carry yourself in a manner that says "I belong here". If you are nervous and concerned over your appearance others will pick up on it. You can't be the "deer in the headlights".
You don't worry about your height in male mode, don't worry about it in heels either. There are plenty of tall women in the world.

[Meeshell]

The ladies are right. Look around, there are plenty of 6 foot women around. In fact I know a couple women, personally, that are pushing 6'4" who wear 5" heels on a regular basis.

My concern is not "passable", per se, but "pleasant", so what it boiled down to for me is: I'm 5'11", give or take, and wear a size 12 women's shoe, and I get along with up to 4 inch heels pretty well. I decided I'd rather look like an Amazon in heels, than Frankenstein in flats. Plus heels really tend to make your legs look great.

Hugs
Meeshell

[Natalie5004]

I am not too tall at 5'9" but I do find standard length dresses can be too short for me.

[Barbara Jo]

FWIW...
Many women even when classy dressed in a nice skirt and blouse, dress, tailored feminine business suit, etc do not wear heels when shopping or walking about about.... like at the mall, etc.
They wear comfortable shoes.
.
Personally I often wear ladies casual low white canvas shoes
There is absolutely no discomfort wearing them and it is a pleasure walking about and shopping in them.
If also helps me blend in with the other ladies. :).

[XemmaX]

I wear sneakers and go for a more modern fashion look. Sometimes in the Club i do wear heels but rarely there too.

[Pumped]

Bright bubblegum pink 4" platforms with an 8" heels and a latex dress to match! Nobody will notice, trust me!:lol2:

My sister is 6 foot and she don't blend!:heehee:

The answer to your question is the same if you were 5 foot nothing. If you wear heels, just wear what any other woman would wear, along with the clothing. Do you best to blend. The bright pink dress I mentioned is probably out of the question, but skinny jeans and a nice top, or a simple dress, or a skirt and nice top, 2-3 inch heels. No 4" platforms with 8" spikes! The crazier your outfit the more attention it will attract.

[Alexis00]

3/4” heel pumps give you a little wiggle but easy to walk in. A taller guy to accompany you helps!

[BTWimRobin]

OMG! The short answer .... You are never too tall to wear heels. Seriously though, if you feel self conscious then wear a shorter heel. There are lots of cute shoes which have a shorter heel.

[Linda K.]

Thank you all for the very encouraging and helpful advice, especially from all of you who are as tall, or taller, than me! I too have seen many women in the stores that are over 6' tall but notice they are wearing flats, as most women who are shopping. I just write that off as they are wearing comfortable shoes because they are doing their chores and have a lot of walking to do. This is why I mentioned that I would like to get a pair of flats for doing chores around the house. But I really can't resist those heels! :heehee: I notice taller women when they are "out on the town" are usually wearing flats as well. Then I start to think, are they being self-conscience about their height? Tell me, am I over thinking this? :nailbiting:

[Alexis00]

Depends on your date! If a guy is taking you out you don’t want to be taller.

Find an admirer 6” taller? :battingeyelashes:

[Pumped]

Alexis, the guy might want a soft place to rest his head during a slow dance!

[Krisi]

For all those claiming that there are lots of 6' tall women, perhaps there are, but they are mostly younger women (the general population is taller than in years past) and they don't have the "bulk" of us males.

If you are OK with going out in public as a crossdresser and not trying to hide it, you can wear heels as high as you wish. If you are trying to pass or blend in with the crowd and not call attention to yourself, stick to flats.

[Pumped]

Kristi, my sister is 63 years old and a good friend that is 6'2" is 65. I know a couple and she is 5'11" and he is 5'8".

I don't think there is significant change in the numbers of tall women then there has been in the last 50 years.

[docrobbysherry]

"Passable!?" :eek:

Yeah, rite! Being short makes all of us passable!:devil:

[Linda K.]

DocRobbySherry - I am just basing the ability to be perceived as passable on the average height of a woman. When I am wearing my heels and I am at 6' 5", then I won't be blending in very well. I guess I don't mind being noticed, just not stared at when I am a foot taller than any other women around. I don't want to be confined to dressing at home only, and don't mind being noticed, but I don't want to be stared at with people thinking, "What the hell is that?!" From what I have read on this site, many others are going through the same difficulty dealing with this as I am. I guess as I gain some more confidence, I will be okay with handling this. As I said to a friend of mine, baby steps. I'll be there one day! :)

[Lori Ann Westlake]

I'm 5' 11" myself, but I have worked with a woman was 6' 2" And incidentally blonde and very attractive! So there are tall women out there. Just go with it!

[AngelaYVR]

Long Tall Sally, the shop that caters to tall women, ran a survey a few years ago and 30% of respondents said they wear heels every day. Now, unless the outcome was skewed by masses of CDs voting, then all the people insisting tall women do not wear heels are quite wrong.

I still do not understand why so many people here think they are passing. You are not. You are either not noticed or people simply do not react the way you think they would. In for a penny, in for a pound - if you want to wear heels then the only person stopping you is you!

[Stephanie47]

When my brother lived in the Washington, D.C. metro area circa early 1970's he joined a tall person social club where the minimum height requirement was six foot; men and women. He met his first wife there. Tall is not the only issue. It's also poundage and body frame along with the height. Pre-covid when people still went to the mall I'd see young female basketball players in town for a collegiate game or tournament. If you were a college age slender framed cross dresser I think you could blend in. When I was six foot one, before spinal shrinkage, and young at 150 pounds with very blond hair I could blend in with those tall women. Crab an athletic tee shirt of the college and maybe you're good to go. Maybe the shorter the skirt the less people will look at your facial features. Or at least some other cheeks.

[Jane G]

Alas, very little chance of passing. Either you except and go for it. Or you live in the closet. At 6ft 4 in I choose the closet to keep my beautiful wife on side. No regrets after 40 years of marriage but the choices have to be made all the same.:daydreaming:

[Cheryl T]

Most women don't shop wearing skirts and heels these days.
They've become more casual so flats and sneakers and such are the norm.

[Leslie Mary S]

Today I did the servery I suggested. I sat in my automobile in front of Kohls for about an hour. I counted 147 women come or go into the store, One was in a skirt and blouse but wore flats. The rest were in top Jeans, and flats or sneakers.

[Linda K.]

Leslie - I have noticed that too. Most women wear flats, especially when there is a lot of walking planned for their day. Over the years, I have noticed they tend to only wear heels when they go out for the evening or at the office, that is why they wear gym shoes to the office and change into heels once they get there. I guess I will learn how to present myself in public as my journey unfolds for me. Right now, I am searching for a pair of flats in my size. :o

Thank you to everyone that gave advice here. I really do appreciate it all!

Love,

Linda

[HK SPICY GIRL]

I am a very lucky 5ft 4in man. It is commonly accepted by both men and weman in Hong Kong. And I always wear 4in heels to go out.

[Linda K.]

Spicy Girl - I like your outfit, it is very nice. Unfortunately, I cannot find a skirt that short in my size! :sad:

[kellyanne]

I know how it feels - not to worry - here are some easy ways to dampen height visually:

1. Dress in layers - tops and bottoms of different colors and motif - the " stacked " appearance breaks up the vertical lines, try shirts and tops with rounded neck lines or shallow V's over deep & sharp vees.
2. Likewise, wear a wig that emphases width & volume more than length, a straight wig with long locks adds to the verticals.
3. Use your jewelry and accents to add to these effects - try wearing a belt, make triad of prominent jewelry around your face to create its own layer, pearls are an easy way to see this effect.

So if you have a black skirt with colored or motif top with white in it + pearl necklace and earrings can pull from the whites - there are 3 prominent layers there - add the shoes & stockings is 4

When you add them al up - they can have a big effect on appearance. To demo it - try a mono color dress vs the layered look and see how you feel.
Try a bright colored top or white or nice motif top + belt + black bottom vs 1 color - the effect is very apparent.

I have had a tough go finding s 12 flats too and have always ben self conscious more than is apt about my height en femme .

[OCCarly]

My younger sister, six years younger than I am (we are both over 50). She stands 5’11.75”. Her 16 year old daughter, my niece, is already six feet tall. My best friend’s daughter is 5’11”. They all tower over me; I’m only 5’6” or so.

........ I still do not understand why so many people here think they are passing. You are not. You are either not noticed or people simply do not react the way you think they would.

Well, it all depends on how you define "passing". If "passing" is defined as doing out on a date with a guy and he doesn't figure out that you are a dude, you are probably right.

If passing is defined as you are walking on the sidewalk and someone walking the other way thinks they just passed a woman, then you passed. I believe some of us can pull that off.

"Passing" is a moving target. It depends on where you are and what you are doing. And of course, your presentation and physical size.

[ellbee]

Am I allowed to post in this thread? I'm only 5'9". :heehee:
At my height, there are plenty of GG's out there who are just as tall as me -- or even taller. :confused2:


As a guy, I hate it. :sad:

But as someone who is a part of this community? I'm diggin' it! :thumbsup:


That said, during my hey-day of going out in public en-femme, I'd tend to wear flats -- even at my height.

Not only are they more comfortable, but it also does two things...


1.) They pretty much keep my height the same, while the guys get an additional inch or two with normal shoes, making them that much taller than me.

2.) If many/most of the GG's wore some sort of heel? They just got an instant boost, bringing them that much closer to my height, narrowing any gap.


The overall result? The guys increased their height over me -- while I was now more in the GG range.

Every bit helps! :battingeyelashes:

[MonicaPVD]

My challenge as a CD is that I am not that tall (5'8") BUT the combination of this height plus heels PLUS my wide shoulders PLUS my big head make me stand out much more than I would like. I have CD and trans friends who are taller than I am, but their bodies are much more slender and compact and they look fantastic. Even when they are considerably taller than the average cis woman. We work with what God gave us, girlfriend. No use complaining over things that we cannot fundamentally change.

[ellbee]

Just an FYI...

Plenty of tall GG's have been wrestling with this forever. Learn from them. :battingeyelashes:


Do an internet & YouTube search for something like "tall women how to look shorter"

More than just shoes.


It's all about the *illusion* & deceiving the eye... ;)

[Linda K.]

Krisi - Thanks, I couldn't have said it better. I am not trying to deceive a guy on a date or anything like that, I just want to go out in public and want to be seen as a woman, not a guy in women's clothing. It seems like flats will be my choice of shoe, unless there is a get together of CDer's I might attend. Then I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Monica - I agree that tall CD's can pass better than I can, bulges everywhere especially the waist. :o (5'8") is not a bad height to CD, but when I wear a 4" heel that puts me at 6'5"? Well there aren't that many people that are that tall. You are right, we go with what God gave us. Now I am trying to figure out how! :daydreaming:

Kellyanne - Being new to CDing I didn't understand half of what you said! LOL! I guess I have a lot to learn. I do understand about how dressing in layers takes away the effect of height. Thanks for the advice and I will give it a shot.

Thank you to everyone that has weighed in on this thread, it is very helpful and encouraging. Keep the thoughts, stories, and opinions coming. I truly helps me out!

Hugs,

Linda

[Karren H]

Standing next to this woman who worked at Target the other day made me feel short. She had to be every bit of 6-3. And I am probably not even 5-8. Thanks to old age and gravity! Personally height never impacted my crossdressing or going out enfemme.

[NaughtyMichelle]

I mainly don't worry about it, but I find that matching shoes to the setting helps. No heels to the grocery store, that kind of thing.

As much as I'd like to wear heels during my Indian casino trips, the heels would be out of place, 6" tall or not. Flats seem to rule there.

Thank you for this link - , I will check them out.
It has been slim pickings since Long Tall sally closed here.

[Krisi]

They have retail stores in many cities so if you buy something and it doesn't fit, you can return it to the store rather than shipping it back. The stores have some large sizes in stock but it's pretty random.

[Linda K.]

Michelle - My point exactly, most women wear flats nowadays. I just love those open-toe heels though!

[Staci Roberts]

Over 6' here....Always wear heels/skirts and go out often!! Ya just have to hold your head high...And own it!!!!

[Princess29]

I have seen any number of women who are my height or taller (6 feet) with the tallest woman being 7 feet 2. Being tall isn't necessarily the sole factor of being rumbled as a cd/tg etc There are many factors that can influence people's perception of the image you are presenting

[Genifer Teal]

A combination of humor a splash of confidence and the right attitude work for me.

[JustJennifer]

If it looks good on you, wear what you like!

Assuming you can find it in your size. There's nothing sadder than seeing tons of fabulous footwear on a shopping site, then filtering by your size and the only things left are sneakers, flip flops, and Crocs.

[Linda K.]

Jennifer - That's for sure. I sure wish they had these in my size. Very cute!

Linda -- That's a shame. Those look very cute and comfy!

[sometimes_miss]

My concern is not "passable", per se, but "pleasant"
^this.
As far as height goes, I'm six foot four, my sister is six feet tall even. Currently she wears a size 13 women's shoes, so she's worn men's sneakers and penny loafers and such androgenous casual footwear for most of her life. Zero heels; she had a pair when she was in I think 6th grade, but as she was close to her adult height by age 14, never again for heels.
And you'd never mistake her for a guy, no matter what she's wearing. Likewise, you'd never mistake me for a woman, no matter what I'm wearing, unless of course it was during a blackout, with no moon, during an eclipse, in a coal mine, from 100 yards away... and even then, just maybe.

[Linda K.]

Lexi - I am curious about your sister's decision to stop wearing heels. So my question for you is, what is the reason your sister stopped wearing heels? Did she feel self-conscience about being taller than men? Did she feel less feminine? Did she feel like she stood out in the crowd? I will have enough difficulty not being noticed while I am en femme, I just don't want to have my height draw unnecessary attention to myself.

[Ceera]

Simply by understanding and accepting that there are plenty of cisgender women who are even taller! Own it, and rock the ‘tall amazon look’.

Amazon Basics has ballet flats up to women’s 15 and men’s toe shoes up to men’s 12.5.

Whether those sizes/colors are available right now I don’t know. I wear 3/4” heel pumps which are usually available up to 11 or 12 women’s.

[Sallee]

i knew a girl in college who was easily 6' 5" and she was just plain beautiful She stood out as a beacon of beauty and never, or at least I never saw her in anything but jeans. I approached her several times but never got more than an hello. At that point in my lsions ife, 70's, I was deep in the closet but lived alone and was dressing a lot and maybe making it out to the local drag bar on occasion. I wish I knew what I know now about cding

[Alice Torn]

I am six foot six, and wore size 16 4" heels. There are not many people in the farming region i live in. Almost no tall women! i have seen only a few. If i ever go out dressed in public around here, ALL eyes will be on me!! And word really gets around fast. I oved in the Seattle area a long time in the past, though, and noticed a fair amount of tall women. But, i noticed many were married to me sorter than them. The area i live now is devoid of tall GGs near my age, 67.

- - - Updated - - -

I have seen only a few really tall women in my small town and farming region of wisconsin. Like one said, some teens are very tall., but in my age range, at 67yo, i almost never over six foot tall women. Only one that i know of and shes married to a shorter man. I never really had a chance to date a really tall GG. And if i go out as Alice, i will be like a giraffe here., at six foot six and heels.

[JenniferMBlack]

The beautiful thing about heels is they are made for strutting. So what you do is strut into the place like you own it. Confidence is the best thing for passing. Yes the right outfit helps but if you aren't confident people will notice you more.

I am 6 - 1 and in heels, well you can do the math. I am currently looking for a nice pair of flats for around the house while doing chores but I do like a nice pair of heels while wearing skirts and dresses. So my question is, how do you deal with being tall while trying to be passable at the same time?
Hey Linda. From up close it may make a difference. But from some distance and without a wife or GG friend to compare with in the immediate vicinity... No!

It's all about the HBR (the super-famous Heels Body Ratio). The division of the body's size by the height of heels.
Let's assume 1.68 m (roughly 5'6-5'7) as the average size of women in USA. That's 66 inches. When wearing 4" heels, the heels represent 6 % of the total size, in other word HBR=6%. For you, measuring 73 inches, it is only 5.5 %, which would be 3.6 inches for an average woman.
But did you notice that there are more Eva Longorias than Ekaterina Lisinas out there wearing high heels ? At 52 inches, Eva's 4" heels are a whopping 7.7% HBR! That is more than twice your HBR Linda :)
So while from a short distance no magic will prevent you from being a sexy giraffe, from a medium distance, you will find it more useful to compute your AHS, or Apparent Heels Size, which is your heels size weighed with the ratio between the USA's ASOWAWHADWO (average size of women ACTUALLY wearing heels all day when outside) and your own body size.
Supposing an ASOWAWHADWO of 52 inches (Eva Longoria), the formula becomes:

AHS = 52/S*HS

with S being your size in inches and HS your your heels size

If you are 6'1 (73 in) and wearing 4" heels, AHS = 52/73*4 = 2.8 inches. Yes, are almost in flats!

The rule of thumb : the taller you are, the smaller the heels look (but beware the headroom).

- - - Updated - - -


Im 5.12
From a Diane to another :) Isn't that 6'0?

- - - Updated - - -


i knew a girl in college who was easily 6' 5" and she was just plain beautiful
So, if my calculations are right, as tall in flats as a 6'1 girl wearing 4" heels. That's encouraging.

[Linda K.]

Diane - She blinded me with science!! Is that your way of saying, "Just wear the heels?" LOL! I already bump my head enough as it is without shoes! :o

[KristyPa]

I'm 5'10. I was wearing 2" heels concerned about my height with heels. While out at a bar one night I was talking with a girl at the bar and asked her what i could do to look better she said that's easy, wear higher heels. I went to 3 1/2" and love them they look so much better.
Don't worry just do it.

- - - Updated - - -

Your so pretty just wear the higher heels.

[Melanie Sykes]

I love wearing heels, though they generally rub the skin off my toes in no time unless I protect them with plasters (band-aid for our US cousins!) first. I'm 6'5", but whatever I wear I'm never going to pass. It's rare that I get a chance to go out (or dress at all) these days since I'm never away from home, but when I used to go out fairly regularly, most of the time I was fully dressed as a MIAD: without makeup or wig. I did spend a few days away in a hotel a couple of years back where I took the opportunity to spend all of each day fully dressed with makeup and wig. I took a lot of care over my appearance, though there's was not a chance in hell anyone was fooled. I can say with certainty that, for me, there was a big difference in reactions from others every time between when I wore heels and when I wore flats. Wearing flats, even overtly feminine ones, no-one paid me much attention whether in makeup and wig or not. But wearing heels would draw occasional smirks and stares in either mode - to a lesser extent with wig and makeup, but still noticeably more than with flats. And I never wear heels higher than 3 inches. I don't recall anyone laughing at any of the flats. Having said this, I'd still wear heels if the mood takes me. Life's too short not to!

I was saddened by the closure of Long Tall Sally during the pandemic. I used to depend on them for tops and occasionally shoes. The tops had beautifully long sleeves and were really good quality. Now they've been bought by some larger group and the clothes don't seem to be anything like as nice as they used to be. Evans used to be a decent outlet for my sized ladies shoes, but their selection in the large sizes has gone very drab in the last couple of years. Thankfully nicer heels in large sizes (even up to UK 13) seem to be becoming available from various Eastern sellers via Amazon.

Well I can 100% understand where you are coming from now. Being 6ft 4ins myself and having a sister who is 5 ft 12 ins tall. So she has always said. My sister choose to exploit her height and looks when younger and was reasonably successful as a fashion model, competing on the Paris Tokyo London circuit for several years. It's not just our physical build that makes us who we are, as we all know. What's inside is a huge part of it. But society dictates that physical build is a huge part of who we can be. To ignore that takes more strength and courage than I have ever had. Having a wife I adore and who loves me (Though mostly the male side of me) keeps me sane and enjoying a very good life. If I could pass as a woman, I am pretty sure my life would have been very different. But I never could and I never will. So to all of us out there, just make the best of what you have and enjoy life. Only one go at it.
