The Gap and Banana Republic have 36" inseams up to size 16. I just recently got a few pairs of 36" inseam pants on sale from BR and they fit like a dream. For more casual wear I prefer jeans from the Gap though -- especially the "essential" jeans, which are oh-so-comfy.

They have tall sizes for tops too, but I haven't ordered any of their blazers yet so I don't know how they fit in the sleeves. I do have a blazer from Long Elegant Legs that has sleeves that actually fit and go to my wrists. I'm 6'3" so unless I get tall sizes the sleeves will be an inch or two short.

Thanks for the tip on br and the gap. I was struggling with the idea of spending alot of money on clothes for just work. I went to the gap and banana republic yesterday to see what size I'd be before ordering tall sizes on line. I highly reccomend doing this as I discovered I'm different sizes for jeans and dress pants. And, sadly, I'm no loner a size 2. I'm now between a 4 and 6. Damn hormones!!! grin

Here we have Tall Girl, The Bay, Addition-Elle, La Cache and Tan Jay which sell clothes for tall women. Anyway, is where my tall friends (5' 10" and more) shop.

No idea if those stores also exist in the USA though.
