Short/Low Waisted

[cheetahfast]

Today I realized that from my waist to my tailbone is only about 4 inches. I was wondering what everyone else's distances are. From BSL to waist is only 2 inches.
My upper back must be huge :rolleyes:.

I think their used to be a thread that had pictures of everyone's backs and lines drawn all over showing milestones. I couldn't find it, and would much appreciate the link to it :D.

Lucky you! From waist to tailbone I am 9 inches. I am a tall girl. My hair is currently 34.5 inches long and I am about 3 inches below waist, I have only 6 inches to go. Only.

Hahaha, you hardly qualify for bell ringing duties ;)

And I'm the same, even though I'm 5ft 9ins. It's 2 inches from waist to hip, then another 2 to TB. I think it's because I have longer legs and higher hips than normal?!

It's ok, I'm short waisted too! Very mid-ninteenth century as far as waistline fashions go (not so much in girth, but shape). Still, if I decide to grow past the wasteland of middle back (and I 'm not even there yet), I guess it will mean a shorter journey.

Waist to hip is 3"
Waist to tailbone is 5"
Believe it or not the height of a person is immaterial, tall people can be short waisted as well. Though I 'm very short.
Apparently the most common combination for short waisted people is to be long from hip to knee as well (ie longer than knee to ankle). In practice this means that heels make your legs look very long, even if you are 5'1" like me. Flat shoes and bootleg jeans, not so good.

I must be short waisted to, waist was 27 on me hip is 29 and i think tail bone is 33 so being only 5f 2 has it advantages oh and classic is only 37 on me :)

Yeah, I went manually looking for that (no point even trying the search :p) and I went waaaay back and couldn't find it :(

I found it, I found it (http://www.longhaircommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77895)! Hooray, I saved the day. :)

I'm pretty even, 4 inches between each mile stone give or take. I think tb to classic was a bit longer though.

Lucky you!!!! I wish I was short waisted!

I hot waist somewhere around 29th-30in. I'm currently at 33in. I have about 7-9 inches to go before I hit TBL. I have about 5-6 inches before I hit hip- So by the end of this year, hopefully!

I'm 5ft 7 inches along time until I reach tail bone my ultimate goal.

[fiddlefananb]

My waist is pretty high and I just hit waist at about 30 inches. My hip bone is about 7-8 inches away from my waist. I am 5ft 9 1/2 inches with very long legs, and am pretty large so that might explain it. To call it hip is it to the top of the hips or reach the hip bone?

For me, waist is about 31in and tailbone is about 38in (I think...). I'm 5'9"

I'm pretty short-waisted, so the distance from waist to hip was fairly minimal and didn't take long at all. I think TB is a little farther. The worst period was growing from chin to APL, especially the SL to APL part. That took forever!

[cheetahfast]

Ah! I just realized I forgot all about hip. I just measured a bit. It turns out BSL is 25 1/2 inches and waist is 28 inches. 33 inches is my goal, which is tailbone.
I'm not sure where hip would be. I can feel my hipbones and they are only about an inch above tailbone.
My OP was me guessing/eying distances, so I'm surprised that I was pretty accurate about the distances inbetween.

My legs are very long for a short person, and people tell me my hips are high. To me that seems like a very plausible reason.

We both have the same tailbone length, but different inbetweens---how interesting. Classic on me is 40, curse my big rump :o!
I'm not sure if I'll even be able to grow that long since my length curls up quite a bit.

Thank you sooo much!!! :flower:

I'm not sure my hip bones are very close to tailbone. I don't really have a shapely hip area since I can never gain weight there and since my waist is so close I'm not sure what I would call it.

For me I think APL to BSL is the longest period. I might have called APL too soon. For me my hair curls a lot on some days and only waves on others so my length disappears. My one year anniversary pictures ended up looking longer since it was a not so curly day.
