Stature of limitations

Fink, this is Barbie. Ken needs his clothes back.

How did he do such fantastic stunts with such little feet?

Or, in the Finks case, lack of stature.

Must be cheaper by the Dozen

How does he reach the ones on the top?

He has recently been in touch with some tailors about replacing his entire wardrobe with some special “new clothes” (that could potentially take up no space at all).

Good thing Mastroianni isn’t running out of material!

Of course…material that would fit one person would be three of The Fink’s…

I here he gets them at the Short and Squat Shop.

Fun fact: he hasn’t changed his clothes, everyone just assumes that he has.

What? No variety? One size, black only, all the time.

No casual wear?

“The measure of a man is not found on a yardstick.” Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Lord Farquaad would be proud.

On special occasions, he wears them inside-out.

He must go to the same tailor or store as Broom Hilda. Yip yip yip yip yip

Looks a bit like Steve Jobs’ closet

I wear petite sizes, which means less fabric. Our clothes are always back in the farthest corner of any store, and cost more, generally, then regular sizes or plus sizes. Petite sizes can go up to 5’4", which is the national average size of a woman in the US. I used to just make most of my own clothes. It was easier than trying to find anything to fit – I don’t recall ever even seeing petites until I was in my 20s. The actual top height recommended can vary by brand. I have a friend who is 5’6" and needs petite slacks or me to hem regular ones.

A convayor belt most likely.
