Janna Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I didn't read that thread, but yet the results of this poll, so far anyway, are showing more of an average, to below average height, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet in WA Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 I didn't read that thread, but yet the results of this poll, so far anyway, are showing more of an average, to below average height, no?Not sure -- I haven't really analyzed the results yet. But I have been encouraged that I'm not as alone on the short end of the scale as I had feared. I had originally planned a "poll" poll so that we could see the results graphed (as in the income poll). But I was more interested to see the heights connected to the names. Maybe we should do a "poll" poll for heights next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS in NZ Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Sorry "Rebel" (but you'll be glad to hear), I am even shorter than you! I'm 4'7". My husband is 5'11". Therefore, my children have a chance to be over 5 feet! YAHOO :o) So far, my eldest dd, 11, is 5 feet and still growing! "Needleroozer" and "JFS in IL" you are my inspiration!!!! There is hope for me.... I have always prayed to be 5 feet - without shoes! :hurray: "LizzyBee" - I know what you mean about having a husband who can reach the high shelves! I'd have him go with me to the grocery stores all the time if I could so that I don't have to keep asking nice strangers to help me get things on the top shelves! Oh well... at least I can reach the pedals and see over the dash board to drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StacyWithFourRugrats Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 6'2" StacyWithFourRugrats, how long is your inseam. I can't find pants anywhere, I'm getting ready to order from Landsend because I can get my 36" inseam. Woo hoo! I am not the tallest *tee hee* :lol: I just looked on the Old Navy website and their boot-cut jeans are only 34" but it must be a long 34". They almost drag on the floor. Of course, they ride low on me (and I do NOT buy the low rise) due to my skinny build so that may explain why they seem longer. Their wide jeans have a 35" inseam in long tho. My mom ordered me some tall clothes from JcPenny's when I was in high school. Couldn't stand the styles and they must have been the ultra-talls because they were long enough for someone 4 inches taller than me at least!

StacyWithFourRugrats Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 SO glad to see others post above 6' tall. I never find pants that fit well. Shirts are the worst though. Although I have found ordering some "tall" shirts have worked sometimes! (You didn't ask me but my inseam is typically 36" as well but with some pants I can sneak away with 34"... just depends on the maker.) Yes, I can't stand the t-short issue. It is more an issue now than before (probably because I now have those lovely stretch marks and short shirts show too much!). Again, I get my longer shirts from Old Navy but you have to look for them sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riada Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 5'10" I have always disliked being this tall. I am all legs so it is hard to find pants long enough! I have to have atleat a 36" inseam and that limits the places to shop dramatically! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I have found ordering some "tall" shirts have worked sometimes! (You didn't ask me but my inseam is typically 36" as well but with some pants I can sneak away with 34"... just depends on the maker.) I wear the same 3 pairs of jeans all winter and love when summer hits so I can wear my shorts. I usually wear t-shirts and sweatshirts....I can buy men's so the sleeves are long enough. Of course I would love to have some pretty clothes that fit......I'm finding that buying a nice shirt is impossible. I'm so broad through the shoulders that nothing fits even if the sleeves are short. Oh well, I guess there is no dress code for homeschooling. Now, if I had to go to work in an office I'd be in trouble. And shoes are another horrible problem.....I love to go barefoot!
