  Short  v Tall women 08 Apr 2004  
Women under 5 foot 2 may get tired of being told that good things come in small packages - but it seems for many men this is the truth - you're more likely to be married if you're a short women, but chances are you'll earn more if you're a tall one.

Kathryn Reaney went shopping with Yasmin Jones who is so frustrated that she's set up the Petite Personal Shopper website.

Jenni is then joined by Catherine Constable and Gail Gamble, who set up shortstuff.org.uk, to examine why height plays such an important part in a woman's life and why being small can make shopping for clothes especially frustrating.
