Seems like I'm not alone!!!! Making your own clothes sounds a great idea, I don't have the patience for it though and was really, really bad at school with it. I can hardly sew a button on never mind negotiate a sewing machine, I'd end up with a needle through my finger.

I can hand sew a book and with a book sewing machine but clothes???

Looks like I'll be sticking to crop legged trousers.

The girls there went up to six foot three, so I can imagine the clothing problems.

Hah! That's nothing.

Ok, here's the story. I'm 6'5", ok? When I went to high school in Honolulu, I went to a UH Women's Volleyball game. Afterwards, I got to meet the team.

The shortest woman on that team was an inch shorter than me. They just went up (WAY up) from there.

I still find some petite clothes are too small round the waist and I can NEVER get the right length - being 4'10" is not the ideal height for off the peg clothes.

Mmmmm... short women...
