ME! I am built very, very similar to Dorothy BUT I have a much shorter neck and the length from my crotch to my navel is shorter. If you saw us in similar outfits, side-by-side, you'd think that we were similar, but that her legs were even longer, proportionately, than mine.
But upon a closer look, visually, it is clear that her neck is much longer than mine, her head is proportionately bigger (larger - I have a pretty small head for my shoulders/ body), and that's a large part of where she gets the inches in torso length!
Like I said...it's an illusion and measuring carefully is really important!
Me Too! I am extremely short bodied, my neck is only maybe average length and i have a smallish head. My massage therapist tells me my ribs are very compacted together compared to the average person.
I'm very glad i saw this thread though. I had originally just assumed that my legs were "much longer" than my torso, but when i measured, i was surprised to see how close the 2 measurements were... so much so that i redid all of my measurements a few times. Turns out my legs are just over an inch longer than my torso... but to look at me you would think that it was much more.
