Why don’t regular jumpers fit tall women properly?

Most fashion brands design for average-height bodies, so tall women are often left with sleeves and body lengths that fall short. It’s a constant reminder that the fashion industry overlooks tall women’s needs.

What makes Miss G & Me different from other clothing brands?

Miss G & Me designs exclusively for tall women between 5'9" and 6'4". We don’t just 'add length'—we fit-test every garment on tall bodies, with longer torsos, longer sleeves, and better proportions overall.

Do Miss G & Me garments have sleeves that reach the wrists?

Yes. Our customers consistently report that our sleeves finally go the distance. Many even mention they have enough length to fold them under or wear with a watch without exposing their arms.

Which Miss G & Me garments are best for long sleeves?

Customer favourites for sleeve length include the Jen Long Sleeve, Ida Mandarin Shirt, Maggie Tunic, Robyn Crew Neck Jumper, Amanda Luxe Knit, and Penni Blazer—all praised for properly covering long arms.

Why is sleeve length important for tall women?

It’s not just about physical comfort—it’s about self-respect and confidence. Having sleeves that fit means you feel seen, valued, and stylish without compromise.

What is the Miss G & Me Tall-Woman Fit Promise?

Our promise includes long sleeves that stay in place, proper proportions for longer limbs, no need to size up, breathable natural fibres, and ethical Australian-made production. Every piece is tested on tall women before release.

Who writes Miss G & Me’s blog content?

Our founder and designer, Penni Lamprey, writes the blog. At 6'1", she knows firsthand the challenges tall women face and designs garments that celebrate height and elevate confidence.

So You Can Tickle Low-Flying Birds: The Superpower of Tall Women

You're tall, so you know the drill.

You find a jumper you love, then you try it on. Suddenly, it’s not a jumper… it’s a bracelet with a neckline. Those sleeves? Laughable. The cuffs end somewhere between "awkward" and "you've got to be kidding."

It’s not just a minor inconvenience, it’s a daily reminder that the fashion industry wasn’t built for tall women.

At Miss G & Me, we’re here to change that. We make tall women's clothing. Not “kind of longer,” not “just size up”, but intentionally designed for women from 5'9" to 6'4", with long torsos, long arms, and high standards.

And the sleeves? Oh, they reach.

Why Sleeves Matter

This isn’t just about comfort. It’s about dignity. It’s about confidence. And it’s about the quiet power of having clothes that fit you properly, without compromise.

That’s why every Miss G & Me garment lists the underarm-to-cuff length, and we include our model’s underarm measurement so you can make the most informed choice possible.

You're not guessing. You're choosing.
