Yes, height rant in answer to twin rant! :D Just like a lot of people yelp about the identical Sumeragi twins, completely ignoring that there's at least one pronounced physical canon difference: gender. And JJ couldn't leave it be and started one of the number hunts in the community again. :::sigh:::
Regarding height & dress problems: I think it depends on the kind of clothing and how aware the manufacturers are about the differences. Over here, when it's made for my height, the wearer is expected to need also width as a woman. In short: you can't be tall, if you aren't fat. Rubbish! I wouldn't call it problems, though. I've come to like the men's wear. The cloth is of better quality, the seams are straight, and the fitting is typically anti-smell, anti-sweat, and nicely cool (esp. in summer), and if you get good quality, you don't even have to iron the stuff. That's a comfort, I never spotted in clothes made for women. Apparently, we always have to have time to iron, and walk, and we're always too cold to sweat... (Rubbish to the power of ten!) Even if there are now dresses for my size, I'm not likely to go back. I may not follow fashion, but I look good *and* have comfortable clothes at the same time! ;)
