Tina, welcome, and thank you for your sweet comment on my post!

I have such a hard time estimating people's height from their photos - we have many petite women here who are also slender, or who merely dress in a very slimming way, that I "see" as taller than they are in real life based on the way my eye interprets their proportions.

Many of Angie's posts on figure flattery are geared towards achieving a longer leg line, which can of course make you look taller. You might also take a look at some of the guidelines for petites - though the post is several years old, it might be a good starting spot.
