In the 70s people would leave the length and wear platforms. But I think jeans are made really long universally because it's easier to have them come with the most length likely to be needed by anyone who buys it and shorten them, than it is to try and lengthen them.

oh man, that made me laugh. it seemed ironic in a way. I realize now that you probably mean it's easier for the manufacturer, but I first thought (resentfully) that it probably IS easier for people whose daily lives include relationships with tailors or sewing machines to just take care of things like pants that are too long.

not being one of those people, I remained frustrated with pants until I finally realized I could just cut the extra length off my jeans with scissors and wear them as-is. I look like an old hippy, but scissors are indeed the easy way to deal with it.

5.1 Maybe 5.2

whats interesting is all the mentions of scoliosis- also plenty of that in my family (along with extra ribs...)
I haven't got any noticable scoliosis, but do have exaggerated lumbar curvature (my mum is a physio- she spent a lot of my childhood trying to make me stand straight ) which unfortunately makes my behind look more prominent. I can 'pull' the vetebrae back into place with a lovely "click" noise sometimes!

Smaller than both parents, actually one of the shortest in the family, the shortest is a cousin who didn't grow beyond 4'11.

Parents were tall.

^ That's exactly what I mean.

I have a friend who is 5'11 so we're both really tall. We were going out with another friend that we knew from an online forum but had never met in person. When we arrived to meet her, she was 5'0. My friend and I felt like bookends. lol

Lol, when I was younger I was generally taller than others my age and I'd often feel like this - or sort of spidery and ungainly next to other girls. :lol:

These days I'm closer to normal height - I finished growing at 5'7.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.
