Though not every size is available, PrettyLittleThing is a website that offers clothes for various body types. When @BethmaccaNew attempted to buy a pair of patterned pants from the clothes website, she discovered this. The pants fit a taller person better than someone with legs like "Kendall Jenner's."

The average American woman, who is over twenty years old and is 5'4", is much shorter than Jenner, a supermodel who walks the runway at a height of 5'10". The buyer's tweet received 332 loves and a few retweets, but PrettyLittleThing did not reply to it or offer a discount.
