I'm sorry!! I am quite happy though. I am 5'8 1/2" and most pants always were too short, by just a little. Now I can find pants in fat lady sizes that are long enough for me!!!! I used to have to buy "Talls" and Longs and that's hard to find in the larger sizes.

Where did those extra two inches go? No wonder I'm 'fluffy' - I'm same weight but getting shorter!

gravity sucks ;-)

I'm 5'. I can't imagine buying anything that I didn't need to hem. That's part of why I hate shopping and I dislike new clothes. I really dislike new shoes.

well i noticed my feet getting smaller. not really, but Kohl's shoes are not the size they used to be. i have to buy smaller sizes now so they must be having them made in a different Country than they used to.
i wish i could find pants longer. I'm also 5'7" and most times have to buy long. then wear higher shoes a bit. I just need a bit more hem length than regular gives me.

I've shrunk too But I'm glad the pants are longer, hated having the ankles showing!! I'm broad enough in the rear that when I sit, they always pull up, so the extra length takes care of that.
