Old Navy recently gave us $30 to pick out something from their Tall and Petite options and try it on for size -- so to speak. We asked our resident Jolly Green Giant, Kristen Seymour, to give it a whirl. Here's what she came back with.

Those of us on the tall side (or petite) know that it's not always just the length of clothing that's an issue -- when you're taller, you might have the all around bone structure to match. I know I do -- I have broad shoulders, which is an issue with many shirts, jackets, and dresses.

Old Navy knows this, and created their Petite and Tall clothing with this in mind. Petites, for women 5'4" and under, have narrowed shoulders, higher arm openings, shorter sleeves and length, narrowed hips and waist, and a shorter inseam. Talls, for women 5'10" and over, offer an extra half inch in the shoulders (yahoo!), longer sleeves and body, a lower waist, and longer inseam.When I had a chance to try out something from Old Navy's Tall collection, I immediately selected this Voile Cinch-Tie Dress in a Tall for $29.50. And I am thrilled with it! There's plenty of room through the shoulders, even when I reach forward or above my head, and the length is appropriate, even though I'm on the short side of the Tall spectrum. Plus, it's lightweight, appropriate for casual outings but can be dressed up for a night out (hello, bright yellow heels!).

What's not to love about clothing that's offered in specialized, extended sizes, at great prices? If you're tall or petite, put Old Navy on your shopping list. I sure have!
