I am not a tiny person. I was 5 feet 9 inches tall when I was nine years old. I am also, courtesy of my father's side of the family, not a slim delicate slip of a person. I've got broad shoulders, long legs, and calves that are not slim and slender....
This shade was discontinued in March 2013, and the slightly brighter Cuff took its place. I liked the slightly deeper grey, personally.
