I agree, I think Jumpsuits can work with all heights and body types, it's just selecting the right one for your body shape.
For example if you are short, maybe try a romper style as not to overwhelm your body with so much fabric of the full length jumpsuit.
I love the looks from Stella McCartney s/s 09, pairing a bf blazer with a short dress/skirt/romper, I think it is a style that could work for women or shorter stature.
