I'm rather tall, somewhere between 5'9" and 5'11", depends on which doctor you ask. And I was the tallest girl in school for many many years. Mums side are all tall as heck, at least so says the now dead grandmother, though she only hit 5'8". Sis is 5'6", but fathers side he's the shortest at 5'11" and one half. Do not forget the half, he is VERY self concious about it.
I have the same problem finding clothes that other people have complained about, long legged and long armed. I'm probably an inch away from Marfan's, they tested the crap out of me for it. Every physical... but I digress. So, to get past the odd proportions, I wear mens pants, girls t-shirts, and mens shoes. Unique style, but it works for me. Though Hubby just informed me I have 'man hands'. This coming from the 115lb 6 footer.
