American and European designers have long neglected the real bodies we inhabit. sorry, i had opposite problem my whole life...i am 5'11" and never could get jeans long enough. everything seemed to be geared to midgets as far as i was concerned. it has been better last ten years. but true couture ignores all but the anorexic. LaCroix sweetie-darling...well bollocks. i do have some outrageous LaCroix leopard sunglasses however, that i paid WAY too much money for in key west. :-6 ....but my entire life was an exercise in futility of getting clothes to fit. evidently women are only 5'6" and weigh 73 pounds. (thankfully our uniforms are unisex).

yes, but you are very pretty and have nice legs and gorgeous hair and always wear heels, you look taller! now, will that get you to lose the cat?

Change your body, employ the services of a tailor, or buy a sewing machine.

I lurve mini skirts. I am around 5'8.5"-5'9" (a back injury caused my lower back to curve a little) and I used to love buying petite skirts because they were always on sale and super cheap back when the hems were at knees or calves, the result was a wardrobe of miniskirts, which was perfectly fine by me. Hehe, I got to show leg while everyone else was covering them. Anyway, in this heat, I think minis are a fashion must.
