I’m having trouble finding affordable dress pants that aren’t total garbage. I’m 6’4”, and it’s always hard to find good clothes that fit me. Was wondering if any other tall ladies here have any recommendations for good places to look?

Also, anyone have recommendations for women’s footwear retailers for very large feet (size 15 US)?

I've had good luck with Torrid, especially if you find yourself in the plus size women's category.

As for shoes, if you mean a size 15 men's, I think you're going to have an incredibly hard time finding the women's equivalent (16.5). I had some luck with Amazon as a size 13 men's (14.5 women's), but the higher you go the less options are on there. It might be a good idea to aim for more unisex options from men's large footwear retailers.

Something that you may want to consider is having some made to measure clothing made. There are quite a few companies on Etsy and places like that that will make some clothes for you for surprisingly cheaply.

Shoes wise I've had the best luck with torrid, Long tall Sally, and empress. But I think 15 might be hard. If you can get close, a cobbler may be able to stretch it the rest of the way.

Lastly, even if you have to purchase men's pants, you can always get them tailored to a more feminite cut.

Asos has stuff for tall folks. You can sort by waist/length. They also carry larger shoes. Im npt sure what a 15 is but they carry some stuff up into the mid 40s. I got a pair of 44 wide boots that fit well, though their not the most durable.

I second ASOS! They carry a wide variety of sizes and selections
