Well, Miss Blingy, if I thought you were more than an inch over 5'5", I'd imagine that you'd tell me you were a little over 5'6", instead, now wouldn't you?
At that height, you're actually lucky; as you may have noticed, Silvia runs pretty long, but that means you don't need as much leather as a taller woman would. And that means, if you're having it custom-tailored, you'll have it land where your fabulous designer wanted it to land, and the savings in materials fees will pretty well balance you back to the original ticket price.
Of course, if you want your piece customized by the designer himself, I'm afraid you're going to be stuck waiting until I'm back stateside, after the Olympics. Is that a problem?
(I know it's hard to wait even longer. On the other hand, Silvia isn't really summer-weight.)
