Ahhh... the Torso dilemma. If you are tall, you are likely blessed with a long torso. You might have the greatest abs in the world, but that doesn't mean you want to put them on display. It's not enough that we feel slightly awkward in our high waters, no, now we have to deal with spilling out of our tops too. This is the thing: Most women look for shirts that are fitted, feminine, but proportionate to suit their frame. Take Dress shirts for example (My biggest pet peeve). You will want your sleeves to be long enough to allow for movement, without pulling on the sleeve so much that it's past your wrist.
Of course, exceptions can be made in the sleeve's length if you intend on tying them back.
Another important factor to good movement is that your shoulders don't feel restricted in the top. You may prefer a more fitted look to accentuate your waist, or a more relaxed fit. Regardless what your preference might be, your shirt should end below your hip to allow for overall good movement. Unless you tuck the shirt into your pants, you will not want the shirt to expose your low waist.
You will want to experiment with different brands to find the correct fit. Some women opt to just go for small Men's dress shirts. You might find that Men's Collars are a bit larger than you're used to however.
One Company that offers Dress Shirts for tall women is Old Navy. They carry the tall in several colors at $24.50.
