I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I'm 5'9" and can't find damn pants that are long enough to save my freakin' life.

I should have jumped for joy when capris came in fashion (as EVERYONE was then wearing "shants") but I resisted. It took me several years to come to terms with thinking something I had fought for years was OK to wear.

I have clothing issues.

I buy whatever fits and take it home and hem it to the right length. (Or I just walk on the extra length until it tears off)lol

5'4" is totally normal. that's crazy talk!

Phil "will start wearing gangsta britches" - I feel vindicated that you didn't find pants either. Although, I suppose you could be cool to the toddler set by showing off your discounted gangsta pants.
*shaking my fists at those tall cabinets*

laughingatchaos - Ah, see. I have a lot of friends who are really tall. For some reason, I am surrounded by either women my height or shorter,

I am SOOO with laughingatchaos here. I feel your pain on the opposite end of the spectrum.

I have a friend who is about 5'3" and I really feel for her. I keep my eyes open for "less lengthy" things while she looks for "freakishly long" things for me.

I feel your pain, but on the other end of the scale. I'm 5'11" and lemme tell ya, there ain't a whole lot out there for the typical Amazon woman. I've had really good luck with Eddie Bauer, 'cause they have tall in shirts as well as pants. But I can't just run into any ole' store and hope to find anything, and thrift stores are out of the question. Sigh...

I was going to say, "Love your tits in that top" in my creepy Silence of the Lambs voice, but I guess I can complement you on not being overly short. Although you do need a stool to reach the second shelf of the kitchen cabinets. Maybe they're designed for "average" people, eh?
