I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thank...Sharon,<br />I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks so much for dealing w/ the captcha and commenting anyway. I've had serious problems with spam in the past, and vacillate between "captcha on" and "captcha off." Kind of like a weird bloggy version of the Karate Kid... Have turned it off for the moment. ~sends mental pox on all spammers~ :)Ami Hendricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113842141579251283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639087.post-87578117595442049572012-09-25T21:02:26.773-04:002012-09-25T21:02:26.773-04:00"I also think that in order to be considered ..."I also think that in order to be considered a bona-fide "designer," one should be required to feature clothing lines for 5 major body styles: shortthin, shortround, medium, tallthin, tallround."<br /><br />YES! That.<br /><br />But most models are way taller than average. Models generally are much taller and much thinner, both. So the fact that she's 6'2" is not big news, model-wise.<br /><br />Whenever there is a challenge on Project Runway where the designers have to design for regular women (moms, winners of contests, brides, whatever), the ones who end up with women who are not skinny always complain.

Thanks so m...RedHeaded Quilter, Anne & Stevie:<br /><br />Thanks so much for commenting! I thought the "no national size standard for clothing manufacturers" thing explained SO much! I also think that in order to be considered a bona-fide "designer," one should be required to feature clothing lines for 5 major body styles: shortthin, shortround, medium, tallthin, tallround. Now THAT would be an interesting catwalk... :O)<br /><br />(Kelly: Working on adding a "like.")Ami Hendricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113842141579251283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639087.post-38996905298037469132012-09-25T10:02:59.022-04:002012-09-25T10:02:59.022-04:00Great post, size 12 isn't near overweight.

I wonder what 6'2 and size 12 really look like? I wonder how much she weighs.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639087.post-5407933033756396472012-09-24T20:12:54.415-04:002012-09-24T20:12:54.415-04:00Ack.
