The Joy of Being Short

[cjsmith]

"I find outfits that are just sensational," says the former Charlie's Angel [Cheryl Ladd]. "And then I put them on and the sleeves are too long, the jacket is too long and I have to get everything almost remade for me." That's because at 5-feet, 4-inches tall, Ladd is considered petite.

According to this article, 43% of women are petite (er, hello? Let's make a definition that marginalizes nearly half of us) and we account for eleven percent of women's clothing spending. I find that telling. CLUE, clothing industry, getcha CLUE right ovah heah. When stuff doesn't fit WE BUY LESS OF IT.

Yep, I'd pay too! Sounds great! You mean I would actually be able to get size 10 1/2 shoes??? (All but the most expensive stores have stopped selling half-sizes above 10 in women's shoes -- and many of the expensive stores have too).
