Hi Lucia, I'm 5'5 and a half, not short unless you live in my house of giants, where even my 10 year old daughter is almost the same height as me! Never mind at least the 4 year old is shorter than me.....for a few more years anywayLOL Christine

Glynis, I need petite too, buying a dress or suit is a nightmare, as I said i'm 4'10', size 10-12 waist and 16-18 top, very weird shape!!! I'm one of these that used to swap the bikinis around so i got one 'my size', well there must be someone out there with small boobs and big bum!! SUE, my surname is Smith too, maybe thats why you're only an inch taller than me, Wend

Hey wendy, perhaps we could join forces. I'll have your bottom half and you can have my top!!

my eldest son is 6' 3'' ! that is scary ! mind you , he still gets a smack when he is cheeky, lol.

I'm 5' 2'. My mother-in-law was 4' 11' and her mother was 4' 6'. My mum is STILL bigger than me. It's not fair! nell

Glynis, Have you ever done the swapping clothes to get you're size? I'm glad a lot of places sell things as seperates these days, they never used to

I'm 4ft 11 at a stretch!!!! and feel just as wide!! Daughter is 5ft 6!!!

lol- wendy ! wow- you are a big girl ! i shop where you can but outfits in seperate sizes. i am 12 bottom and 14 top ! not quite as lucky as you though , lol.

I hate clothes shopping now. was always a reasonable size 12 untill the middle aged spread took over. Now I seem to look a sight in everything so stick mainly to trousers and jumpers

I hate having to wonder web jeans up!! they just dont look right!!

But have you thought what its like to be the other way round, i wish i could add 4 inches onto everything lol

I feel a bit better now that I know there are loads of folk smaller than me lol :-) Lucia

Dont' we all want to be different to what we are? short people would like to be tall, tall would like to be smaller, curley haired want straight, straight want curley. Fickle we women arnt we?

my feet are size 3 and a half so not as small as you but still tiny! lol :-)

Sue, dunno bout being lucky, it hard work getting anything to fit, put that with the size 1 feet!! have to get 3's most of the time and have 2 prs of insoles and 2 prs heel grips in just to keep the things on!!! Cheap 4 trainers tho cos can get kids ones, Wend x

I bought a long demin skirt the other day and loved it cos it was sweeping the floor! Saw someone in town last night wearing the same thing and it looked short on her!! She spoke to me and said mine looked right and hers now looked too short!! That was a confidence booster for me!! I also hate it when some giant of a guy stands next to me at the bar and gets served first!!

Oh! and we'd like to stay aged 21 forever (Sue)!!!!LOL

Nite folks xxx

Me too Nite nite

I'm 5'3 (just!!!) I'd love to be taller and slimmer but with a mum who is 5'4 and a dad who is 5'5 I'm doomed! Ultimately would rather be short than overly tall as a woman! I love a tall man! becx
