4 inches: average height of emily's heels. (Making up for the other 1.7 inches I lack; )

Cathie said...

Is that really the average height for females? I didn't realize I was that close to normal! (Height-wise, at least...)

Rachel said...

So excited! I swear I have the stumpiest legs of anyone I've ever met! It's especially hard to find flattering maternity pants.

Bless you, Bless you! I am 5'10" and around a size 6 and I can't find anything modest and appropriate. If it's long enough, it's shaped like a tent. My brother is getting married in a few weeks and I can't find anything to wear.

Yay!!

Stephanie said...

Thank you! I'm 5'2" and can not find pants to fit anywhere! It doesn't help that I'm also plus sized:(

Elaine said...

So glad! I am 5'3" but have short legs and a long torso and it is very hard to find clothes that fit perfectly!

In honor of this week can I ask, are petite girls allowed to take part in the new wear-a-scarf-with-everything trend? I'm afraid it's going to make my short ratios look even shorter!

liz said...

Ooh! 4'11" here!

The Thrifty Stylist said...

i swear that in the U.S. anyway, the average height for a female is much higher than that! i'm just under 5'2" and consider myself super-short but nice to know i'm only just below average worldwide anyway ;)

I'm 5'9" and have a 34" inseam - quite looking forward to hearing what you have to suggest for tall women.
*personal frustration? Why does tall need to mean big to so many manufacturer's?

Emily said...

All 5'11 inches of me are thrilled!

Oh yay! I've just discovered your blog, and am so excited to see what you have to say about us tall ladies. I'm 5'11" and am mostly leg. It takes effort to look proportioned and not stilt-like.
