Veronica - interesting little piece of trivia: I studied forensic anthropology in college, and self-reporting of height on drivers licenses can actually make for difficulty in identifying bodies. According to one study, men tend to overestimate their height by an average of 2 inches, while women report theirs as 2 inches too short on their licenses.

So maybe most American women really ARE 5'6.5"?

Don't know, but have Muirenn's height and feet, it seems, so I'm thrilled that I can find pants the right length now. Before I gained weight and muscle from cycling/running and got back to normal sizes, I couldn't find a size 0Long anywhere.

I wish I had a size 6 foot so I could get all the cute shoes on clearance!
