I disagree.   It's irrelevant.   I'm 5'5" but I can wear petite tops because I am so short-waisted.    But I can't wear petite bottoms, my legs are too long. I know women 5'3" who need petite bottoms but regular tops because they are long waisted but short-legged.   It doesn't help me a bit if one of their models is 5'9" wearing Large or whether she is wearing XS.   What's her bust size?  Her waist?  Short-waisted or long waisted?   

 

Not all the QVC models are high fashion models--long torso, long legs-perfectly proportioned.   So it's apples & oranges at best.

 

Just give me accurate sizing & quality control, I can take it from there.

Height affects where a hem will fall on the body.  A tunic on someone 5'9" will probably fall just below the hip, but on someone my height at 5'2" will fall about mid-thigh.

 

 


 

 

 

 

 


Regardless of long waisted or short waisted, a 7" difference in overall height is STILL going to affect where the hem falls.  Where exactly it hits will vary by an inch or two from one 5'2" person to another, it's still a significant difference in where it falls on the 5'9" model.
