Boy, do I know what you mean! Interestingly, it's easier to find a "long" size in a plus size. Clearly, if you are overweight or a large build it only makes sense that you are tall, too.

Shoe sizes, likewise. I wear a perfect 10-1/2 (they don't make that size, now do they ... ever notice? Sizes 5 to 9-1/2, 10, 11 ... what's up with that?) and with that it's assumed I have wide feet. There are more wide shoes available for larger sizes than B (medium) widths, and if you happen to have a narrow foot, forget shoes at all.

Why don't real people take positions in the fashion industry?
