The tallit dimensions above list the height x width.
These terms can cause confusion.

Height of tallit - from the top edge, that rests on the neck,
                          to the bottom edge, parallel to the floor

Width of tallit - across the shoulders, i.e. from one fringed side to the other

Sizing Tip: Sometimes the simplest way to choose the right tallit is to measure your current tallit, or borrow one and measure it. In most cases the height is the key factor.

Notice that for most sizes (50, 55, 60 and 70) the difference in height is 4 inches (10 cm) from one size to the next. So if your current tallit is a bit short on you and measures 52 inches (130 cm) high, for example, you have a size 55 and you should move up to a size 60.
