I was really surprised to find she was the same height as me. I had always assumed she was taller, mostly because she has all those cheap kimono and yukata and I thought you'd have to be taller to pull those off. Now I think about it, Japanese women aren't all that tall so it makes sense she would be able to find kimono that fit. They never look right, though. Not because she's white (I've seen some westerners who looked quite lovely in kimono), but because she doesn't have the right build for it. Japanese women apparently believe 50kg is the maximum any Japanese woman should weigh.
