The garment industry is just weird. It's better than it was in many ways (I can actually find jeans in TALL sizes now) but they still don't make tops for large women (and perhaps women in general, I don't have much cause to look at sizes below about 24 in tall sizes. I guess tall women put all their "extra" height in their legs and not their torso (and their arms aren't any longer than those of a woman of average height).

And I don't even consider myself all that tall really. At least until I find myself in a group of women of average height (and size), then I feel like a freaking giant. :P
