Just bought a couple of shirts....women's XL....hate to say, but why are the damn sleeves sooooooooooo long???

Just cause I’m a tad larger then last year, still stand about 5ft 3.5 inches…….why are the sleeves made to fit some who has 5 feet arms?!?!?!?! Hate rolling the cuffs back.

1. I hate that, too.

My problem is that I’m 5’6” and most shirts are too short unless I buy something down to my knees which I don’t want, either.

3. Try the Tall department

or maybe buy men's shirts if you are long-waisted.

4. I'm kind of curvy and men's' clothes just don't work for me.

Where do you find Tall women’s tops? Ive only seen Tall in pants.

6. I'm tall too and have the same problem.

The problem is that they really don’t have tall departments for women in very many places. Petite departments everywhere. Tall departments, not so much.

7. Where the heck do you think basketball player shop?

I live in a city with a mid-major university, so I know these girls are not swimming in NIL money, yet I see them around and they are well, if not expensively, dressed. I'm guessing Macy's or Kohl's or someplace similar. I could be wrong, but.... They alsoi have big feet, BTW.

2. Check in the Petite department

I'm smaller than you (usually a S to M) but I agree about the sleeve lengths. They're ridiculous. If the shirts are tailored, what you can do is turn the cuffs up and rebutton them that way. I do that a lot, especially if I buy men's shirts at the thrift shop (I like work shirts). Otherwise take them to an alterations shop.

8. do you remember that ridiculous trend where women were wearing sleeves to their fingertips

crap like that just irritates me
