How tall are you?

Seems like they are either too long or too short... nothing "just right"..

I like mine a bit longer than most, but I don't want to walk on them..

I don't know it's normally a problem for me...

Prolly the OCD in me...

Do you have a Costco near you. They have a great selection of jeans in a large assortment of sizes. Men’s jeans are about $18 and women’s are using around $20 to $25. My legs are a bit on the short side and I don’t like hemming either.
 
I used to be 5'5", but now I think I'm 5'4" to 5'4 1/2", I've always been okay with my height, my oldest sister (RIP) was 5'8" and my other sister is 5'2".
 
I'm 5'8". I always wished I was shorter. I always felt like I stood out like a sore thumb. I can reach all my high cabinets which is a plus but clothes can be an issue. It is very difficult to find tall or long,at least you shorter folks can hem your pants, I can't make them longer. I don't think I ever get through the supermarket without reaching items for the shorter people. I don't mind except sometimes it leads into a long discussion as to why they want the item when all I want to do is get out of the store. I really don't care if you need to eat 5 prunes each morning to make you go.

I just climb..or I go get something else that will reach high enough to knock it down then catch it...
 
I'm 5'8 1/2"..tall for a woman. I used to hate being tall when I was in school, I was always the tallest girl in class. Turned it to my advantage in my teen years and started modeling. Even with 4" heels I was still on the shorter side for a model.

My ex HATED my height...just one of many things he hated about me lol! He was barely 5'9" and wouldn't ever let me wear heels because that would make me taller than him.

Interestingly, unlike most folks as they age, I've gained an inch...all my adult life I was 5' 7 1/2" My doctor credits my dancing with the increase. I'm an agile dancer with good technique, and that's given me a strong core, which has also strengthened and elongated my spine, adding that additional inch. I've always stood straight, but dance has enhanced my posture too. I can just be standing in line somewhere for example, minding my own business, and I'll get asked if I'm a dancer, or less often a gymnast. I guess it shows lol! Part of that might be that I get a lot of my height from my legs, they're long in comparison to my torso.

Don't even get me started on pants!!!! :mad: It's so difficult to find pants long enough! I'm loving the fact that more and more manufacturers are adding Tall sizing to their lines. It means I can find more pants that fit, and also changes where dresses hit my leg...even though I don't wear them often, I want them to be the right length.

Ron is 6'2" and he loves my height. He gets a real kick when I put on heels adding several inches.
