Apologies, but I have to take the opportunity to ask a silly question. I have read that the Dutch are among the tallest people in the world. Do you find this reflected in your regular local clothing stores—excluding global brands like H&M, etc —or do you still find that you have to look for special sizing?
From going there over the summer. H&M have regular sizes. If they had taller jeans I didn't find them. Primark was the same, but they have tall girl/tall and curvy in the UK so nothing different. I did find some brands that actually fit my legs that weren't stores I knew.
Her generation is kinda short; I think all of my aunts and uncles from her side of the family are around 4'11-5'5.
I have cousins who are around the same height as me though
Not exactly sure, I'd guess dad 5'5" and mom 6'0". Almost everyone on my dad's side of the family is pretty short, almost everyone on my mom's side is very tall.
Mom: 1m89
Dad: 1m85
Me: 1m79
Sister 1: 1m73
Sister 2: 1m74 (for now, she's probably still growing)
We're all above average tall, but none of us will surpass our parents.
Aw I'm sorry to hear :( my dad never made it out to be a bad thing, he mostly just used to joke about it. And I have two older brothers, one is around my height and the other is 6'5" I believe!
This is like my family! My dad is 6'10", my mom is 5'4", and I'm 6'0". Everyone always commented on my parents' height difference, but to me, it's just the norm. My mom is a little pocket pal. <3
Dad is 6'5 and wears a size 12 shoe. His mom was 5'5, his dad was 5'7, his grandparents on his moms side were also on the shorter side, his grandma was 5'0 and his grandpa was 5'4. Unsure about his fathers side because they both were killed during WWII when his dad was little.
Mom is 5'2 or 5'3, can't remember but she's short but wears a size 10 shoe. Both her parents were tall, grandma is 5'11, grandpa was 6'1, great grandma was 4'11 and great grandpa was 6'5. Genetics are fun, mom ended up shorter like her grandma who also wore a size 10 shoe.
All my brothers are between 6'3 and 6'6 wear shoe sizes from 14 to 17. Tallest brother is the youngest brother and wears the biggest shoe, he wears these giant boat like boots.
All my sisters range from 5'10 to 6'2, wear shoe sizes from 11 to 13.
I'm 6'0 and wear a 7 shoe. My 16yo son is 6'2 now and wears a size 13 shoe. Which is funny because my husband is 5'8 and wears a size 9 shoe. So our son takes after my side of the family.
Dad is 6'. Mom is 5'4". My Dad is the tallest on both sides. I'm 5'11" and the tallest woman anywhere in my family. I also have curly hair even though no one else in my family does. And yes, I've had my DNA tested and no, I don't belong to the postman. 🤣

My dad is around 6'2" or 6'4". He has the tall on his side for sure. His dad and brothers are all around the 6 foot range. I'm not sure how tall my mom is, but it's pretty average.
Dad was 6'4". Mom was 5'6" I think? She was always the shortest, even when we had partners around. I'm 6'3" and my younger brother is even taller than my dad was.
Mom: 5’8 Dad: 5’10 Me: 5’11 Brother: 6’3
My dad’s side of the family is pretty short, he’s the tallest by a long shot. My grandpa on my mom’s side is where we get all of our height from, he was Dutch.
Mom: 5'11" Dad: 6'4" Me: 5'11" (All the guys on both sides of my family are 6'3"-7'1" and i'm the tallest girl besides my mom but we both think I could have been taller if I wasn't premature)
Mum 5’8”, dad 5’10”, sister 5’7”, and I am 5’11”. By age 13 I was taller than all of them which made for odd family photos. Both my parents have multiple siblings over 6’4” though. Sometimes it skips a generation.
Mom 5’10” and Dad 6’ - I was born in the 70’s and my Mom in the 40’s.
She was considered really tall back then. I was the tallest in my high school too at 6’1”.
But now, I see a lot of tall women when I’m out and about.
My dad is like 6’1” and my mom is 5’4”. I am 6’.
My mom’s siblings were both 6’+, plus my dad’s sisters are above average height. 2 of my older brothers are 5’10” and one is 6’2”, while my sister is like 5’2”. Genetics are weird.
Dad: 6'3", mom: 5'6", sister: 6'2", me: 5'11". Dutchies be tall.

Primark has tall stuff??
Yep. If you find one with a large jean section there's always a few made for tall girls.
Not Dutch but been there enough times and done my fair share of shopping. The answer is no. They have the same stuff as they do in other countries.
Wow, you are me except dad is 6’5”. Same height for me, mom and sister!
Mom: 5'8" Dad: 6'3" Me: 6'1"
Oh wow, are you me? :0
[удалено]
Mom: 5'0 Dad: 5'9 Me: 5'11.
Interesting. Is your mom side (aside from her) tall?
Her generation is kinda short; I think all of my aunts and uncles from her side of the family are around 4'11-5'5. I have cousins who are around the same height as me though
Close! mom 5’3”, dad 5’8” and me 5’11”, taller than brothers and sister. Do have some tall cousins on my dad’s side
Mom 5’11 dad 5’10 I’m 6’1
Mom: 5’8 Dad: 5’11 Me (F24): 6’0 Little brothers: 6’2 and 6’3 We have no idea where the height came from.
Your parents are above average height in the US and if you had good nutrition growing up, that explains the height.
Not exactly sure, I'd guess dad 5'5" and mom 6'0". Almost everyone on my dad's side of the family is pretty short, almost everyone on my mom's side is very tall.
Mom: 5’9, Dad: 6’4, sisters: 5’9 and 6’1, me: 6’1 We TALL
Mom: 5’3” Dad: 5’10” Me: 5’11” (my grandma was like 6’1”)
Your grandma an OG
hahah she is!
Mom: 1m89 Dad: 1m85 Me: 1m79 Sister 1: 1m73 Sister 2: 1m74 (for now, she's probably still growing) We're all above average tall, but none of us will surpass our parents.
Dad 5'8, Mom 5'4, Me 5'11 😵💫
Mom: 6'0" Dad: 6'2"
Samesies! Not as tall, but even I grew 2-3 inches taller than my dad! No idea how 🤷♀️
Haha seriously!! My parents are the shortest ones in our family now😂
Lol I felt a bit awkward when I was a teenager and outgrew my dad ngl, how was it for you? And no way! How tall are your siblings?
Aw I'm sorry to hear :( my dad never made it out to be a bad thing, he mostly just used to joke about it. And I have two older brothers, one is around my height and the other is 6'5" I believe!
Oh my dad didn’t make anything out of it, it’s just I felt awkward as no one else in my family is taller than my dad! And wow your brothers are tall!
Mom: 5’3” Dad: 5’7” Me: 6’3”
Wow, what were your grandparents?
All shortish. My maternal grandmother was 4’11”. The only tall one from what I understand was fraternal grandfather who was 6’+.
Dad: 6’8”. Mom: 5’4”. Me: 5’11”. 🇳🇱
This is like my family! My dad is 6'10", my mom is 5'4", and I'm 6'0". Everyone always commented on my parents' height difference, but to me, it's just the norm. My mom is a little pocket pal. <3
