Try being tall but a teensy size. If I were about 10" shorter, I'd be petite! I absolutely have the hardest time finding pants that are small enuf around yet have a 36" inseam. Bleah. (I'm 5'10", but I'm also about 5' of legs!) I love being with people taller than me. It's such a pleasure to have to look UP for a change, rather than down. Such a pleasure to NOT see who has a bald spot and who doesn't! <wink> And although I admit there are times it's an advantage to being tall, there are also many disadvantages. I had a 6'4" BF who hated the attention we got when we went out (me 6'2" with 4" heels and a mini, and him 6'4" plus with boot heels, and you get the picture). And once, just once, I would so LOVE to have to get a pair of pants hemmed shorter! There used to be a couple of different "tall girl" stores here in San Diego. One was ages ago in the '70s. They would call me up if they got something in in a size 3, so I could go and snag it. Ditto with "Altitudes" that used to be here in my neighborhood in the '90s. Otherwise, I had a hard time fitting into their clothes. MY pet peeve... why do manufacturers think that taller women are bigger, too? Huh? Why? Why can't tall women be petite? Huh? Tell me! If you open a store for women's clothing, if you don't do size 1's and 3's, I'll follow Who with a 'dozer!

Ok, 5/4" here and not feeling the LEAST bit sorry for you tall girls who are 'all legs.' What a burden!

I wore a size 30 x 36 in 501's in high school and I could never ever find them. I now wear a 32 x 36 which are easier to find.

I'm 5'9" and 1/2 and my dd is 5'11", closer to six feet. She has been able to find pants that are long enough at American Eagle but they do cater to a "younger" person. My son is 6'8" and finding him pants at any place besides Big and Tall, is very difficult.

RED ! That pic makes me think of my skinniest days. I had a pair of bright red wool pants. (That was in the day of cuffs on pants. I let them down and they were long enough.) Wouldn't wear red like that today.

Being 'all legs' was okay when the legs were good to look at - now they're not, so they're always covered in pants, and that's yet another hard luck story!

Darn, hubby left for work and I missed my editing time - wanted to add, re exposed wrists... YES, and along with that, being called 'monkey arms' by the 'average' girls. I countered that by doing my monkey impression, being a decent mimic - if they laugh AT you, make them laugh WITH you, however, my best friends were the other tall girls in school, we stuck together for mutual comfort and support. One of them is till my best friend, 46 years and counting... :-)
