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.
It also depends on how high up the girls are where you wear your bra.Sweetcoco82 said: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.

And look you're at waist length now!!!MissMarie said: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.
