Shoulder | Armpit

[Kathie]

I don't have a ruler in my dorm room so I don't measure but it's about halfway now to APL from shoulder now. I'm so excited! Only on LHC can people understand how happy that makes me.

Ah, upper back length (UBL)

Mind you ... I do have a confession to make. I took those measurements last night with one of those stiff tape measures ... what do call them, the ones you find in the toolbox? So I may be a bit off in terms of exact inches, but the proportions should be the same.

Alyanna - when I couldn't find my sewing measuring tape (the flexi kind) I used to use a string or ribbon. I'd mark it at the length I wanted, then use a ruler/stiff measure or whatever to measure the marked length on the string. It made me feel like I was getting a little more of an accurate measurement.

It's so interesting how everyone is built so differently! I'm short through the shoulders (I know that sounds weird) but petite blouses actually fit better than normal ones (so long as they are 3/4 or short sleeves!) even though I'm 5'8". But then my waist is low enough that if I try to wear a store bought dress, the waist is up around my lower ribs. Not high enough to be empire waist,not on my waist and NOT cute.

I know what you mean Spitfire about different builds!

I'm only 5"2 but seem to have the longest neck in history! People measure the same length as me but are already past APL and I still have an inch to go!

No fair!

I say APL by around August That's my guess!

I recently had to do a major four inch chop due to temporary insanity damage (aka home perm) when I was an inch past APL now im barely shoulder(cries) I'm hoping in founr months to be back to APL

Makes a lot of sense

Will measure again in a couple of days...

I like that idea a lot too. I'll be retaking my measurements and posting a picture like yours too, with the lines and all.

The lines help for some reason, it makes everything seem closer <3
