OT; JCrew- taller women with no butt!

I am 6'2'' and have a terrible time trying to find clothes that fit well- and now with the weight loss I have absolutely no butt at all.  I have to order everything online, which of course means I can try nothing on before buying it.  Decided to try JCrew- prices are far more than I normally pay, but I am settled into my final size and decided that I would splurge and try a few items.  Holy crap, I love them!  They fit perfectly!  I have never looked so good in a suit.  I bought the jacket and slacks (stretch Italian wool), and went back online to buy the matching pencil skirts.  The skirtd didn't come in a tall, but I ordered it anyway and the length is long enough if I pull it down a bit.  Anyway, long story short- if you are an Amazon with no butt Jcrew is a perfect fit!

I am not very tall, but my dear friend is 6'0", also with no butt, and she recommends Long Tall Sally as a great place to find clothes online. I don't know if you've tried them, but I thought I'd mention it.

I just discovered this store about a month ago.  I am extraordinarily lucky that there is a brick and mortor location here in Metro Detroit.  Yes- the clothes there are long enough, but the quality is not impressive given the price.  However, I will frequent the store- bought a terrific dress there for $120- not enough quality in it for that price, but the fit was amazing so I did it.  Trying to add pieces to the wardrobe for a job switch.  I think I am about done now other than two pair of shoes.  My poor bank account!

I have a flat butt. I hear squats can give even us no-butt-ers something to hold our pants up. I shall try it and let you know how it goes.

Happy Teacher....this 6-footer hears you loud and clear! (35" inseam)

I highly recommend checking out Lucky Brand jeans, another splurge, but well worth it. I have heard good things about Long Tall Sally and Silver Jeans also offer extended lengths. 

I head to the hospital tomorrow morning at 5:30am and can't wait to work my way down to J Crew tall clothing. Congratulations on your success!

Sending good Karma your way for the procedure tomorrow.  I set my original goal at losing enough weight to be able to wear the tall sizes, instead of just plus sizes.  I just noticed that Lands End now offers a tall plus size.  Sheesh, would have loved that back prior to surgery.  I have never tried on Lucky jeans, but will check them out.  I have great luck with Old Navy for jeans, so in general it is not too much of an issue for jeans.  Work wear is more of a challenge, and especially something classic for interviewing that fits really well.
