How tall is tall? Is 5ft 10 a bit...well....small?

HinnyPet · 18/12/2009 17:55

better not be too small tackyChristmastreedelivery !! or else I'll have to start a "well above average height but not 6 ft tall and normal clothes are too short" thread

FairyLightsForever · 18/12/2009 17:55

Oh, tacky has a point... I too am only 5ft10, I always think of myself as tall, but maybe my friends are all just short-arses!

HinnyPet · 18/12/2009 17:56

HinnyPet · 18/12/2009 17:57

and another one

deaddei · 18/12/2009 18:01

I think 5 feet 10 is a damned fine height and yes you are members.
Who is the tallest?
I'm 6 feet and a little bit, size 9 narrow shoe, 36 ins leg.

Socks! Where do you get socks on the high street? Can't bear sizes 4-8. Have tried thox on line but expensive
Am 6ft,size 9 feet.

MrsFlittersnoop · 18/12/2009 18:22

Count me in! I'm 5'10" as well. Does anyone else here feel short and fat when they shop in Long Tall Sally?

dinoroar · 18/12/2009 18:24

Shoes: a place called "After Eight" in Bath. As the name suggests, shoes above size 8!

giddyupRudolph · 18/12/2009 18:24

I'm 6 feet tall, but only shoes size 6 (which is my excuse for being clumsy and falling over all the time)

deaddei · 18/12/2009 18:25

Lankyalto- I buy mens from M & s- plain black with jaunty coloured heels and toes.
I just feel depressed in LTS as it's so disappointing- nasty fabrics, frumpy stuff and very expensive.
Esprit tops tend to be very long in body and sleeve. I have just bought a gorgeous coat from there which fits perfectly.

And BTW I am waiting for my Next jeans to arrive - they should have come today but a call centre rang to say they will be next week. Grrr, I wanted them for a party tomorrow night.

As a matter of interest, do you lot have problems with the size of your calves? Finding knee high boots is tha bane (sp?)of my life, I can't bear the prices in Duo.

TulipsAndTinsel · 18/12/2009 18:27

am i too short? 5'9 but with freakishly out of proportion legs (sounds good on paper but the realiity sucks when i need to buy pants!)
