I'm 5'9-1/2" and looking forward to getting out of plus size clothes so I can buy clothing designed for tall women. The manufacturers seem to think that women are either tall or fat, but not both simultaneously. The standard in-seam in plus sizes seems to be 29", which does not work for me. The only catalogues I have found with a 32" in-seam in plus sizes are Silhouettes and Lands' End (which will hem some of their plus size pants to the length you specify). Does anyone know of any others?

Also, does anyone know of any catalogue that sells shirts for tall people who wear plus sizes? All my shirt sleeves are too short and I have to wear them pushed up to my elbows so they don't look funny. My arms are disproportinately long -- they really should be on someone who is 6' tall. Silhouettes doesn't carry tall sizes for shirts, just for pants, and Lands' End only carries tall sizes in shirts up to 20 (I need a 22 or 24).
