Lol. Sounds like how I used to dress when I went to parties and social events! :P

Now I just embrace my height until I can get LL. I measure myself standing straight as possible with my feet together. My height at a given time of day fluctuates by around 2CM though, which I find strange. Maybe it depends on how much weight I've carried on the day of measurement.

Post by: tapemeasure on August 08, 2014, 02:15:09 AM: I stand as straight as I can against a wall. Then using a pencil, I mark where the top of my head comes to. I measure from the floor up to that point with a tape measure.

I'm exactly 5'10 in the morning. Measured myself now (end of the day) and I'm 5'9.5.

Post by: G-Man on August 10, 2014, 04:14:07 PM: I use a thin book with a hard cover so its perfectly 90 degrees from the top of my head to the wall. Keep the book in place (mark it if u want) and measure with a tape.

Post by: srimech123 on September 04, 2014, 10:31:15 AM: I measure about 4 hours after waking up, against a wall, standing as straight as a soldier, barefoot, standing at 173cm (therefore at least 175cm with shoes)
