i'm 5'3 or 5'4
right above bra clasp is 22.5"
below bra clasp is 24"
as of right now i'm 3/4" below my bra clasp.
the smallest part of my torso is 29" but i really have no idea if that should be considered waistlength. Either way, that's my goal.
if my hair was to cover my whole back though, which might mean at tailbone length, then it's 31". I had thought that was waistlength... but i'm not sure.

This is an interesting post. The one thing i have noticed in hair pics on differnt forums is that some people bras do not fit right. They ride up in the back. I am not trying to start anything here. I have just noticed this, thats all. So if your bra strap in the back is ride up your not really at bra strap length. If your bra fits you right. It should go around your back and not arch up any.
Now i need to go find my measuring tape so i can measure my hair, hehe.

Thanks, Sweetcoco! Cause I'm looking at some of these measurements like okay I know I'm tall, but dag I'm not THAT tall! My bra strap goes approximately across the middle of my back. I know exactly what you're talking about because I used to be one of those whose bra was too high in the back, too, until I learned to wear it properly.
But, I'm going to do the measurements agin to make sure they're correct - that's also a factor. I'm going to have my husband take the measurements for me. I'll post again later - under the dryer right now.

I re-measured with my daughter's help (I was scurred to ask hubby - I just knew he would think I lost my mind). My original measurements (from the front of my hairline) were about right:
Current length (as shown in avatar): 20 inches
Armpit: 24 inches
BSL: 29 inches
I started this post thinking torso length would make a big difference, but it looks like neck length is a big factor, too. Or maybe more petite people have smaller heads?
I find it fascinating that my 20" hair is shoulder length and some people's 20" hair is armpit or longer.
Anyway, thanks everyone who responded. I think I've set more realistic goals now based on my height and measurements.

You are right there are alot of factors. Some people have a long head from their front hair line to the nape of their neck. Some have long necks some have short ones. For me to get to my waist that would take me awhile. But i doubt i even want my hair that long.

Lucia said:It also depends on how high up the girls arewhere you wear your bra.
Thats so true. If you have a smaller chest you bra wouldn't come down as low either. Well i guess i have a ways to go.

Wow, I didn't think my torso was quite that long.
I'm 5'7" and bra strap for me is about 27 inches.
The smallest part of my torso is 32", and where I usually wear my pants is 35".
I went from shoulder, to collar bone to armpit quickly. But it seemed to take a good 9 months to go from armpit to bottom of bra strap. I don't think I'll make it to waistlength (one more year) before I chop.
