I am slightly long in the waist too (3 1/4 inch rib to hipbone)but I have long legs too (34 inch inseam)<br /><br />I still struggle with finding size small jackets that fit although maybe it will be easier in the spring since I won't be having the sleeves hitting an inch too short like I do with long sleeved jackets. <br /><br />Leslie, do you still say I should look for a short jacket when my legs are already long and I don't need them to appear longer?

Do that measurement first, it should tell you which you are, long or short.<br /><br />It sounds like you might be slightly long waisted since you are longer armpit to waist, compared to waist to crotch...Leslie aka "MissusSmartyPants"https://www.blogger.com/profile/17046854490448047197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974005426631136538.post-55942749798723563592010-03-22T16:20:53.883-07:002010-03-22T16:20:53.883-07:00Diane,

Being a "C...A dilemma I always get stuck with:<br />Being a "C" and short waisted I find it very challenging if not impossible to find a good length of jacket. If it is longer, it generally hits at the hips which emphasizes the wrong spot (widest), but then if it's shorter it doesn't help balance out my short-waistedness...help!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320662888676763567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974005426631136538.post-30149737343482311412010-03-22T02:34:40.162-07:002010-03-22T02:34:40.162-07:00Hi Leslie!

Please...Thanks for this helpful information, MSP! <br /><br />Please help me though, I'm "measurement challenged."<br /><br />Do we do the measuring down the side of our torso? <br /> <br />I think I'm longer from armpit to waist than waist to crotch, is that LONG or SHORT waisted? <br /><br />I'm just trying to get this straight... thank you so much!!MaryDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07851438830119511522noreply@blogger.com
