Dress shirts that are long enough to go over stomach and not come out of pants



Recommended Posts

I have to wear a suit soon. My shirt fits in neck and arms. It is a little small but manageable around waist but the length is too short. I have a 19 34/35 and 20 34/35 that fit but the length is too short. Does anyone know if you can buy shirts that are longer without going to large in other parts of the shirt? I was going to try big and tall xl store. Thanks in advance

If you have a Dillard's near you, they sell them up to 37/38 lengths with still a size 19 or 20 neck (look in the big and tall section). So does does Destination XL (DXL).

You can also find LT, 1XT, 2XT, and 3XT sizes at Dillard's in their big and tall section.

Great thank you. I have a big and tall xl not far from me. Hopefully I will keep losing weight and will let have this problem much longer.

You don’t need to go to big and tall stores any more. Burlington Coat Factory has some nice inexpensive dress shirts in various sizes. So does Walmart.

I’d also go to a Men’s Wearhouse or Brooks Brothers just to get your neck measured.

Late to thread....
Getting a tailored shirt, is worth it. A high quality, well tailored shirt will wear better than a presized cheap shirt, will last longer, and can sustain my dry cleanings. And good shirt material, can be taken in if you are still loosing weight.

I would give it a good 9-12 months after surgery before I bought any non-disposable clothing. I made the mistake of buying a suit mid-weight-loss-journey that I never actually wore.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
