Darn I thought I'd be the tallest woman here at 6'0", as I usually am. I have the pants issue with an inseam of 37" and a size 13 narrow foot.

You can be tallest cynde! I will just say I am 5' 13 and a half". I sympathize with the pants issue, but at least I only have size 11 feet! I think someone here said the Gap has 37" inseams. Gotta check that out!

LOL, people sure did answer this one! Fourteen pages of heights - more than I'm up for. I'd be interested to know, though, if someone wants to calculate averages.

I have a "short" story to share...I went to a new doctor's office and they weighed me, took my blood pressure and measured my height...the young man said i was 4 ft. 9 and 1/2. I said you did this wrong...again he measured and came up with the same.
When I saw the doctor she took my blood pressure again...it was 20 points higher and she was confused as to why this was happening. I said I can explain...when I walked in your door I was 5 feet tall, now I am 4 ft. 9 and 1/2 so I am trying to figure out how I got so short so fast and this is a little upsetting. She just looked at me...the rest did not go any better...I changed doctors and never went back to that office. And I am still 5 feet tall.

5'2"--I've always loved being short! And for most of my life, I've been petite. I've gained some weight over the last year (due to having to take prednisone for my lupus... :( ). I'm hoping to regain my "petite" status when I go off the steroids--which I hope is soon...

Thats not enuf to cover me let alone tuck under my feet. I seem to make many 6'x8' afghans. I feel like the giant here!! LOL
