What's your height?

[Chalet]

Notice I didn't say 'How Tall Are You'? showing respect to the shorties like me.

Two questions:

What's your height?

What's your average hemline in a daytime or cocktail dress? Above the knee, on the knee, over the knee?

I'm 5'1" and I wear the hem just above or slightly on the knee.

[Doctora Pepper]

I'm 5'6 with stocky legs and most of my dresses end just below the knee, but before the calf widens. Of course, if I like the upper half of the dress enough, I accept any hemline.

[msdeb]

i'm 5'9. i wear them above the knees about an inch, and thats just because I'm old, otherwise i'd wear them shorter. i have good legs..looks like they are the last thing to go awry on me.

[McJag]

5'7 1/2" . I wear mine daytime brushing the knee, some summer dresses actually tea length. Cooler. Cocktail above the knee. I am 2/3 legs and love my legs, which is only fair since I was shortchanged in the bosom area.

[Sleuth]

I'm 5'0. I only wear hippy style ankle length skirts/dresses because I have ugly Katie Holmes cankles.

But being short (and having nice legs), I wouldn't wear the dress at a length that cuts your leg in half. So I'd go for knee length or shorter.

[Little Goon]

I'm 5'2" and I really like long hippy dresses and skirts. They probably make me look shorter, but I can't help it, long dresses are my favorite.

[VeraGemini]

5' 10". I either like them an inch or two above my knees or tea-length, but I'll wear any length if I like the general cut and fabric well enough.

(Actually, I don't wear dresses or skirts very often.)

[Tiny Pixie]

I'm 1.79m, which is a bit more than 5'8'' I think (not sure, never been good at conversions )

I like maxi dresses, but not nicole richie style, I like silk dresses, and most of the time I wear black.
I'm tall and thin and flat chested, so I like empire waist dresses, and I like them long.
And I teach in those :p

I only have one "short" dress, which is 10cm above the knee (but I don't like my calves so I never wear it :p)

[HWBL]

I'm 5'5" (only just) but I'm a bit disproportioned (legs are a bit too long)
which may be one of the reasons why people generally think I'm taller.
Don't wear many dresses or skirts now, but when I was much younger
I sometimes wore them above knee length to knee length. Had one
summer when I bought half a dozen Jackie Kennedy like, sleeveless
summer/cocktail dresses that were all about a hand width above the
knee, something I definitely could not get away with anymore.

[scooter]

5'9" and I almost never wear a dress.

[McJag]

Some people on here are much shorter than I would have thought. I guess it is because they post tall.

[Mel1973]

5'3.5"... I'm one of the ones who now prefer the nice long, ankle length dresses. And yes, I'm much shorter than the size I post as!

[LynnieD]

Almost 5'8... I'm a below the knee gal too.

[twitchy2.0]

5'10" Above the knee or tea length for normal wear. Floor length for stage costumes.

[gas_chick]

5'3 here and I like above the knee. I think it makes me look taller which is probably all in my mind.
