A. end up hanging below the knee
B. end up having to sit VERY high waisted at the top, making your torso appear short.
Hmm... Could I get an accurate measurement by standing in front of a floor length mirror with the tape hanging down to halfway up the kneecap and reading the measurement at the navel? I say floor length mirror meaning I can read the measurement in the mirror without bendind over.
