Which height should I go for? Opinions on mockups needed!

Out of these heights, which do you think has the best overall size and proportions? Which height would you recommend I go for? I'm aware 5'7" may be out of reach, but assuming I can reach it, should I go that far? Or would it be better to preserve my proportions at a slightly shorter height?

5'4" looks good, 5'5" decent, others look weird to me. What's ur sitting height? Hopefully others will disagree with me and say 5'7" looks ok. Good luck.

My honest take is that even 5'7 looks fine. I won't comment what looks the best but 5'7 doesnt look off. Now Imagine you just walking around people with clothes on.

Looking into this. Might do 5-6cm femur, might not do it.

About 34 inches, slightly taller than most girls, but slightly shorter than most guys. I'm about the same height as my dad sitting down, and he's 5'7".

Good point, I would look much different in well-tailored clothes that could "hide" the bad proportions.

its a lot going from 155 to 170 cm tall, even quadrilateral. Im just a couple cm taller than you and i would be happy being 165 cm tall. Where are you from?

Which of these would be the safe limit then?

167cm I think you could pull off with clothes. The short torso is pretty obvious so you probably shouldn't wear dress shirts if that's what you choose.

Paley limits, for whatever it's worth, are 8cms on femurs and 6.5cms on tibias. So you could in theory reach 169.5cm, let's round it to 170.

Turkish doctors and Betz are willing to lengthen more but the complication rate is higher. We routinely see these guys in Turkey lengthening 10cms on femurs. Athletic performance is probably over after that but some seem to be doing fine as it relates to day to day activities.

In relation to proportions, they look fine anyhow, nobody cares about that.
