Shopping For Tall Gurls

[Joy Carter]

So this has been really agonizing trying to find nice pants that fit. I sat one evening reading the local and spotted an advertisement for " Joy'stallfashions.com ". Located in Sylvania Ohio West of Toledo Ohio. I gather up my courage today and went. I was met at the door by Joy herself, a middle aged looker at about five eleven. I asked to see some nice dress pants and she showed me several. She kept referring the woman in my life and what would she like etc. I picked out a couple and asked to ty them on, she didn't bat an eye. She was most helpfully and I picked a lovely pair of black pants with a side zipper and flared leg. Since they were too long in length she pined them up for me and told me she would have them back by Friday. I paid allot for them but they were so lovely and the fit was so great that I didn't mind at all. She sells an up-scale line of clothing but I'm partial to that type of dressing. I was nervous at first because this was the first time I had talked face to face with a GG about buying clothes. I was a little flushed but that soon disappeared and I felt respected and welcome as a customer. So it's back to Joy's (no relation) the next tall purchase I make. :D

I'm a shameless self promoter or I just think Joy at "Joy's Tall Fashions" deserved some more exposure.

I'm sure she gets a lot of cd's in her shop. You were one of many. My cousin's daughter worked for Tall Girl Shops when in college. I spent dinner at their house right after she started. She told us all bout the many tranvestites that come into the store to shop. I just sat there and didn't say anything.

the biggest problem when being tall is that it is not easy to wear high heels, because then people can read us easily.....:( ....and I can not dress without wearing heels!.....I love them....I wish I could wear heels all the time!!!
