I'm a shade under 5 feet and weigh 137. Made myself a beaded belt and it's too tight. Oh well, I thought, until I lose a bit more I'll wear it as a necklace.
I was relating this to another woman at my beadwork group, who's taller than me by at least 6 inches and looks average in weight whereas I still look (and am) overweight.
Well, that damn belt fitted her the same as it does me--too tight. But on her, her waist looks slim, on me, tubby.
Amazing the difference a few inches in height makes...
