Why, oh why aren’t the dimensions on the website?

I’m tallish, my stomach isn’t my best asset, and I cannot successfully wear any shirt shorter than 24”. I hate having to contract companies to ask about the length and/or making returns. I’m not asking for a pattern. I just want to know the length of the actual item in my size. Why is this so hard? It seems like companies woods save a lot on returns this way. Am I the only one who cares?

You can try asking customer service.

It is annoying! They usually pick body measurements for a fit chart or garment measurements. I think body measurements probably work better for them because people don’t know how much ease there should be.

As a tall person though, I feel you. You usually get inseam and maybe rise for pants, length for dresses, but rarely anything for tops.

People here mock Talbots, but they put the shirt length on their site.

Yes, it's very frustrating. I'm not tall, but I have a long torso for my height and clothing size. I look for clues, in photos and descriptions that shirts are actually longer length.

I, too, want to be able to filter by length - 22" is way too short for me and descriptions like "hits between waist and hip" are meaningless.
