Models Who Aren't That Tall

[#umero]

Her show card say 5'9. I'd say she's fairly close to that or a bit shorter.

Eh, I'm not so sure. Anna is probably not as short as some people think she is, but she's definitely short. She's not 5'9" but she's probably something like 5'8" - here she is next to 5'9" Katya and 5'10" Irina, all of them in flat shoes:

I'd say that 5'8" (maybe 5'7.5") for Anna is pretty accurate.

Katya is listed at 5'11…also the angle of the photo is weird.

Jack (sorry - I have to distinguish her from Jac Monika ) hasn't been mentioned because she isn't a "shortie" of Cara D, Hannah Holman proportions..
She's shorter than alot of others but not significantly so.
Sigrid is 177, so she's actually nearly 5'10". She isn't a shortie by any means. Jack is 5'8", she's about the same as Anna Selezneva and Anabela Belikova.

That photo backstage at Dolce & Gabbana is a funny one but I think it's about right. The fact that Jack is slouching slightly and Alana is standing up straight has to be appreciated. (Don't disregard slouching, it lowers height significantly)
Alana is 5'11" solid (180), she isn't 6' but regardless, there's still a difference.
If Jack stood up properly there'd be about an inch difference there.......deduct the height she's gained in those heels against Alana's about 3 inches compared with Alana's 1" and you have it about right....
Standing flat foot next to each other, there's about a 3" difference between Jack and Alana (5'8" to 5'11").

Also, when talking about girls in heels, alot of people forget that the actual height of the heel is not how much taller you're going to be because of the way the foot sits in the shoe.
For example if you're in 5" heels, you'll gain 3" height max but if you're wearing a flat platform, for example a 3" platform sandal where the foot is still flat, you'll gain the height of the heel/platform - if that makes any sense at all
So even though JacJab is wearing 5" heels with Sigrid, she has not gained 5" in height (i.e. she isn't now 6'1" in those shoes).

#umero that is a horrible photo to try and compare.
Weird camera angle, varying shoe heights, slouching, leaning. There's too much going on.
Irina Kravchenko is 5'11" by the way, I figured that out in her first season.
Katya's about the same.

 

[EvilPudding]

Every time I see Sveta Zakharova I think she is much smaller than the rest of the models. Is there a list of all the petite models? Almost all my favorites are always little

Alright well I couldn't find a better picture where we could see the feet, so you can find a better one and compare. I'm not saying Anna is super duper short, I just think she's probably around 5'8" is all.

Also, regardless of the photo angle/leaning, it's pretty clear that it would be almost impossible for Irina and Katya both to be 5'11". The agencies must be up to something fishy.

Really about Sigrid? Most everything I've seen has her listed at 1.76 (short 5'9.3"), with a few 1.77 listings (5'9.7"), but I've read numerous accounts in her thread and maybe even this thread that her 5'9" listing is a mighty stretch. (And I mean, it is generally true that when agencies list 5'9" more often than not they are trying to masquerade a girl who is not quite 5'9" as being 5'9".) But okay, let's say Sigrid is 5'9" - 5'10", and let's say those 5 inch heels Jac is wearing only give Jac Jab 3 inches of height. Jac Jab is still a bit shorter than Sigrid even with the heels on. It's just really hard to see how Jack can be 5'8" even though I would like to believe that she is. Like I said, maybe the photos are just bad, but it seems fairly likely that Jac Jab is 5'7" something.

To be honest, that pic of Sigrid and JacJab doesn't really do anything besides show how beautiful they both are....
Rotate them to the left about 15 degrees so they're not on a lean and then throw them in the same shoes then I think we can talk about it..
Also, Sigrid isn't wearing ballerina flats, those are boots with a good 1.5" heel at the back, so we're not comparing JacJab in 5" stilettos to Sigrid barefoot.
I can't tell you why people think Sigrid is so short, I've seen her in enough finales and standing next to enough models to know she's in the 5'9"-5'10" range so 177 is a good estimate to me.
5'7" is just too short and unrealistic for Jacquelyn, so I'm going 5'8", which is about an inch and some change shorter than Sig.

No I can't be bothered...

It wouldn't be impossible to say Irina or Katya are 5'11"....there's no reason why they can't be.
I'm not too sure about Katya to be honest, I haven't seen her enough, but Irina I'm convinced is 5'11" or 5'10.5" minimum considering she looks about the same as Kasia Struss.

Well then if you can't be bothered then I suppose we'll have to use what I found, and what I found shows Anna as quite a bit shorter than Irina, whom you say is 5'10.5" to 5'11" and whom Irina's agencies say is 5'10" (Premier in London) or 5'10.5" (Women in New York). Like I have been saying all along, I don't think Anna is as short as some people think she is (like Marine, Anna doesn't have very good proportions), but I don't think she quite clears 5'9", so I'm going to go with Anna as 5'8" something.

I'm also going to go with Jac Jab as 5'7" something, but really. Who knows.

 

[#umero]

Oh and as for Sigrid, it's pictures like this that make people highly skeptical that she's more than 5'9". Now, people are going to say that anyone would look short next to Karlie, and of course that is true, but realistically there are a good 4+ inches between Sigrid and Karlie. Karlie is tall, but she's not more than 6'2" - and she'd have to be more than 6'2" for Sigrid to come close to 5'10". In fact, it's pretty well agreed upon that Karlie is 6'1". I would bet a lot of money that Sigrid is 5'9" something.

I wasn't actually debating Anna's height, I was saying that I believe Irina Kravchenko to be 5'11".
You're probably right about Anna but whether I source a picture or not, that one still is no good for the very simple fact that there are too many elements throwing off any chance of a decent comparison.

Well personally I just can't believe Jacquelyn to be 5'7", it's too short, that's Kate Moss territory all the way down there...
From what I've seen she's very much in line height-wise with Anabela, Anna S and Siri Tollerød (5'8" girls).

The people that look at those photos and see more than 4 inches difference are probably the same people who say Karlie is 6'2".
People who, with all due respect, really don't have a clue when it comes to assessing peoples heights.....so taking into account what they think from what they see is invaluable and redundant..

The better picture for comparison purposes of those two is the smaller one, just because they're heads are both up and they're standing the same way. So in saying that, that picture looks pretty good for someone who is 5'9" against someone who is 6'1".
And exactly how much money would you bet? Because 177 is 5'9" something..

Actually, if you would read my earlier posts, I conveyed quite clearly my opinion that it's likely Sigrid is not quite 5'9", so my statement in the post you quoted was supposed to read that I would bet Sigrid is no more than 5'9" something. For the record I think she is probably no taller than 5'9.5" (so not as tall as 1.77), and I think it's more likely that Sigrid is just shy of 5'9". And if that is the case, then the picture of Sigrid and Jac Jab together strongly suggests that Jac Jab could be 5'7" something - not necessarily 5'7" even, but 5'7" something.

Also, Sigrid reaches about Karlie's eyebrows in both of those pictures. Now, do something for me: take your hand, measure from your eyebrow to the top of your head, and hold it up to a ruler. That's more than four inches. If Karlie is 6'1", then Sigrid is clearly not 1.77 (5'9.7").

Lastly, we're obviously not going to find police line up pictures where everything is perfectly set up for us to assess heights, so I'm not sure that a "that picture is bad" rebuttal to everything moves the conversation forward in any way.

I shall leave it at that.

We are not going around and around with Sigrid and Karlie, please........
Karlie is 6'1" and Sigrid is 5'9" almost 5'10" because she is only very very slightly shorter than both Julia Nobis and Kasia Struss, irrespective of what the photos you've dredged up suggest.
Ew no here -> I don't like flowers..

 

[foreverandnone]

There is no huge difference between 5'9" and almost 5'10"

 

[YeohRocks]

Anna Ewers sure is a shortie.LOL

I know she's wearing heels here butI've never really doubted Katya's 5'11-ness.

Exactly...which is why Sigrid isn't that much shorter than Julia Nobis....

Yes yes yes, you're exactly right, Sigrid is basically 5'10", which is why she's clearly only 3 inches shorter than 6'1" Karlie:
