Intersection of environmentalism and veganism incoming
Someone asked about this in a chat I'm in and it led to a lot of digging with almost no success beyond spending 300 dollars to buy custom clothes all the time. We're looking for stuff that is a) vegan and b) has no plastic byproducts that we can recommend to people of many sizes and c) will not bankrupt you. Like 6ft tall+ women with gigantic feet 12+ womens sized shoes.
Shoes, hats, et al. of feminine styling. Basic shit. Flats. Heels. Thrifting isn't usually an option for people of certain sizing, too.
edit:
Things I've found, again, the point of this is basic essentials shit that is vegan, no plastic, and will fit tall women. Gimmicky things that aren't basic aren't included.
Custom Clothes (expensive):
https://loyalfootwear.com/ - 350 USD for a flat. Ridiculous price, but it is fully custom and has non plastic options. There seems to be no way to ask her simple questions about the products she sells to verify their contents.
https://heartsandfound.com/ - Custom dresses and skirts. Uses various fabrics like linen or cotton of your choosing, unclear if shipping doesn't use plastic. Seems most dresses are in the 120-140 dollar range, which is reasonable for a fancier dress. Has a lot of older 50s styles for dresses. Storefront sells from Vietnam, fabric quality seems very very good, seems to source materials from a cooperative and shuts down during Vietnamese holidays, has a guide for dodging US import fees? Nice.
https://www.eshakti.com/ - Lots of options for clothes, uses various fabrics, can shop by fabric type and luckily does show in detail fabric info, has custom sizing and is not much more expensive than a normal shop. Some of the clothing does look cheap and may use low quality plastic fibers in conjunction with the cotton. Ships from India.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/LeoLines - Transgender gaffs, can be made cotton but doesn't appear to be fully cotton, but seems to be the best option for non plastic fabrics.
Not custom clothes:
americantall.com - Cheap, but many of the materials contain plastics, look shit, and aren't vegan. Some options are low in plastics or are fully cotton, but there aren't many. Has male options too. The cotton leggings seem to be the lowest plastic content leggings that I can find. Most products that are low in plastics are about 5% elastic and the rest cotton.
longtallsally.com - Lots of cheap garbage but there are some things that aren't plastic. Ships from UK, Turkey, India, Sri Lanka, Romania, Macedonia Bulgaria, China and Vietnam.
Not explicitly tall options:
https://rawganique.com/ - Lots of 100% cotton products, however womens clothing does not seem to be appropriately sized for tall people. Good for things like 100% cotton socks which are hard to find. Has some zero plastic shoes but mostly for smaller feet.
Shoes are currently a gigantic sore spot, need to find a place that has vegan shoes for many BASIC styles of US size 13+ that dont cost a billion dollars.
I don’t know if their dyes are vegan but you could do worse than Uniqlo cotton and linen clothing. Their cotton in particular is of pretty decent quality.
Uniqlo doesn't seem to have tall sizing options for women. I've been digging through these lists https://tallfashionadventures.com/tall-shopping/
Unfortunately most of these shops look like amazon crap sold through petite bourgeoisie branding but some look promising. Biggest issue is many don't let you sort by materials.
I’m sorry, you’re entirely correct.
Uniqlo does have a shop by height option but for women it tops out at 5’9”. That’s very disappointing.
I grew out of Uniqlo a while back, too, but for width reasons rather than height ones. Was a sad day indeed. :c
Lots of Gudrun Sjoden tunic fit tops work really well as t-shirts or blouses for taller people! Lots of really fun patterns and designs too. New it's too expensive for me, but I have found two really nice shirts on e-bay for $20-40.
These are very cute and give off fun Scandinavian peasant vibes but unfortunately they dont have tall sizing options it seems, particularly for sleeves
They do have measurements on their site I'll look and see what my friend needs. 120 bucks for a shirt is certainly a 
moment, you can order a lot of these things custom instead of buying their cookie cutter sizes at this price.Definitely. I got some stuff I liked for $20-30 on eBay. I'm not much of a new clothes person for financial reasons.
Yeah I try to find stuff like that but it pretty much never works out for tall women. Great if youre short tho
Thanks for putting this together! Those shoes are super cute, might have to figure out a way to justify then budget for a pair.
Anyone have tips for plastic free socks? Kinda tired of throwing plastic away a couple of times a year. Not particularly concerns about them slipping without elastic or anything.
Aha! Found a place!

Womens clothing seems to be still too short so not good for tall people, but for plain androgynous 100% cotton socks this should work. Some of these things also have organic elastic (which uses natural rubber, not petro rubber). I'm quite sure the dyes they're using aren't petro dyes but to be 100% certain just go with the natural color. There are lots of amazon stores that advertise theyre 100% cotton but they are blatantly lying you can tell the sock tops contain elastic.
Socks are borderline impossible to find without plastic honestly without something like wool. You can get pretty low plastic content socks though from places like sockdreams, like 10-15%.
I'm going to do more research on it though.

Would it be possible to get this pinned? In general there is a sore need for alternative resources like this, its basically impossible to find anywhere even with good research skills.
